Happy Pride Month, everyone!
Our team here at Southpark on Whyte wanted to share with you a few of our favourite LGBTQIA2S+ friendly businesses located right here #OnTheAve.
1. The Grindstone Comedy Theatre and Bistro is a non-profit organization that was founded in 2011 which aims to create professional opportunities for emerging artists through high quality productions, and they are ALWAYS LGBTQIA2S+ friendly. From dancing, drinks, live shows and more – they are the perfect place to go for a night-out during Pride Month (and every month afterwards).
