Code of Conduct @ EO Events.
PLURR is in FULL EFFECT! No form of harassment, homophobia, transphobia, racism, misogyny, body-shaming, predatory behaviour, or any form of being a jerk or a creep will be tolerated!
Mischief, violence, or illegal activity of any kind not allowed.
COVID PROTOCOL: We follow current government mandates; masks are encouraged; if we are within a venue that requires proof of vaccination we will abide by such measures.
Respect the spaces we occupy- it's not ours to make a mess of and/or vandalize. Please honour that by putting any trash into the garbage, and refraining from any form of graffiti.
No matter the venue, smoking of any sort (this includes vaping) indoors is prohibited.
Breach of these rules may result in your removal from the event with no refund.
Let’s talk about consent!
Ask for consent, ALWAYS
Whether it’s someone you just met, your partner, or a friend- ASK FOR CONSENT! In the end, it doesn’t cost a thing, and it will save both parties from possible harm.
Asking for consent can sound like this; ‘‘Can I _____?’’ ‘‘Hey, do you mind if I _____?’’ ‘‘Are you down to _____?’’
Someone giving you consent can sound like; ‘‘Yes’’ ‘‘I’m down’’ ‘‘Of course’’ or even an enthusiastic thumbs up or head nod.
Someone not giving consent can sound like; ‘‘No’’ ‘‘I don’t know’’ ‘‘I’m not comfortable’’ ‘‘Not yet’’ or even reclusive body language, a head shake, overt nervousness or silence.
It’s simple and straight to the point. Now, if someone does not give you clear, direct, enthusiastic consent- this is NOT A CHALLENGE TO CHANGE THEIR MIND- if you do so, it’s called coercion, and it’s a manipulative and dangerous tactic. If they don’t want to, leave them be.
In the case that you or someone else is being preyed upon at one of our events, please alert security or an EO representative immediately so we can best protect you/those affected and deal with the perpetrator(s).
Things you need consent for:
Touching other people’s bodies (whether it be close dancing, hugging, groping, etc.)
Kissing
Sexual Acts/Intercourse (Fondling, Oral/Vaginal/Anal sex, and the presence [or lack thereof] of contraceptives such as condoms & dental dams)
All other shared/mutual/group activities!!
People who are heavily intoxicated and/or unconscious cannot give consent. Have difficulty understanding that? watch this:
Our events are all-ages… If you’re looking for romance, please stay within your age grouping. That means you should not be hitting on anyone significantly younger or older than you.
Unfortunately roofies and drink spiking is still a thing. If you see someone slip something into a drink other than their own that they are visibly drinking from, alert someone in charge, such as the bar, or an EO representative.
Drink Etiquette
Don’t pick up or play around with other people’s drinks; even if they seem to be abandoned/left unattended. It’s not cool, and in the case that person comes back to their drink to see it’s in your hands… that’s an uncomfortable sight.
