Skate with the BLGC
Babes! We’re super excited to announce that we’re going to get together for another skate (fingers crossed it'll be a bit warmer than last time!!) on February 3rd from 6pm – 8pm at Olympic Plaza downtown!
Here’s the deal: we’re going to meet downtown at the Olympic Plaza skating rink at 6pm! Please dress for the weather and bring skates if you have them!! If you don’t have skates, not to worry! The City of Calgary has skate rentals available for small fee (if finances are a barrier, please email us at info@boringlittlegirlsclub.ca).
If you’re not interested in skating, but want to come hang out for a bit, please feel free, we’ll have snacks and hot chocolate (vegan) available for our babes!
See ya there!!

Saturday Morning Yoga
The BLGC is super pumped to be bringing y’all Saturday Morning Yoga starting February 18th and running every Saturday Morning until March 11th from 10:30am – 11:30am MST.
Our lovely VP’s mother, Janice Ferraro (a yoga teacher with 30+ years of experience), will be taking us through a gentle yoga flow for about 30 minutes before we settle in to a 30-minute session of yoga nidra, while is a yogic sleep induced by guided meditation. These Saturday morning yoga sessions are for EVERYbody and will be hosted on Zoom, so you can participate any way that you would like – all you need is a quiet space!
We will be taking PWYC (Pay What You Can) donations for every Saturday Morning Yoga Session to support our VP’s (@__flora_black) fundraiser to get to Melbourne, Australia. Y’all know we love to support our babes and our VP, Marie, has been accepted to present at the International Harm Reduction Conference from April 16 - 19, 2023 in Melbourne, Australia. Her presentation, Queering Harm Reduction, will be all about bringing together two communities that Marie is a part of and fights for every day: Alberta's harm reduction community and the queer community. As a queer woman and someone with a history of criminalized drug use, Marie has a unique perspective on how to make the Harm Reduction world more inclusive to the Queer Community.
PWYC donations can be made to info@boringlittlegirlsclub.ca with a note: Saturday Morning Yoga!! Recommended donation for each session is $10. If finances are a barrier, please let the BLGC know either by DM or email and come anyways!!

February 21
BOOK CLUB
The BLGC is excited to announce a new BOOK CLUB, starting February 21st!
The book we’re going to be reading is Finna by Nino Cipri, a rambunctious, touching story that blends all the horrors the multiverse has to offer with the everyday awfulness of low-wage work. Finna has been praised for its inclusion of queer characters and its criticism of capitalism and retail work.
Here’s the deal: on February 21st, at 6pm, we’re going to be meeting at Ikea in Calgary (8000 11 St SE) in the Cafeteria for an introduction to Finna, Nino Cipri and a general hang out at Ikea. Why Ikea you ask? Because Ikea as a location closely mirrors the setting of the book… and we have a babe who’s never been to Ikea. So Ikea it is!! If you are in need of a ride to Ikea or are able to carpool, please let us know by DM so we can arrange that for y’all!
Huge shoutout to our babe Sasha for hosting this BOOK CLUB!
Don’t worry about picking up your copy of Finna quite yet, as our meeting on February 21st is just an introduction to the book. If you do want to pick up a copy, our friends over at Shelflife have a couple copies in store, as well as the Calgary Public Library (both e-book and paperback) and it is available as an audio book on Audible. If finances are a barrier, please let us know by email, so we can work together on a solution.
Content Warnings for Finna: mental health struggles, passing references to drugs, alcohol & sex, fantasy violence (but nothing graphic).
