Access & Dungeon Rules

The following notes on Communicable Care, Mobility, and Fragrance pertain to all events, across all venues of Fantasme February.

The Dungeon Rules pertain specifically to the Play Party.

COMMUNICABLE CARE

We are committed to reducing the spread of COVID, RSV, influenza, norovirus, etc. While we will be taking concrete measures to keep us all safe, we also encourage personal responsibility, autonomy, and compassion, recognizing the importance of voluntary participation rather than obligation.

 

 What We Are Doing

  • Masks provided and ecstatically encouraged!
  • A full refund if you’re not feeling well—if you’re sick, stay home!
  • Air purifiers throughout the space, with clear signage
  • Hand sanitizer and disposable wipes
  • Regular cleaning of surfaces with CaviCide (antiviral and antibacterial disinfectant)
  • Stickers available for anyone to wear to indicate distancing desires
  • We understand that rapid tests are difficult and costly to come by nowadays. Free, non-expired rapid tests will be available at door
  • Condoms, lube packets, naloxone kits (Provided by Black Umbrella)
  • Gloves, puppy pads

 

This is a community effort and we embrace a culture of mutual care and consideration for those who need additional precautions.

 

 What You Can Do

  • We strongly encourage you to mask if and when you are able to when attending any Fantasme February events.
  • If your health permits, please get vaccinated. 
  • If you are able to access any, please test before attending. Testing daily for 2 days prior, and on the event days is recommended but not mandatory.
  • If you feel unwell (covid or otherwise), stay home. Remember—you’ll get a full refund.
  • If recently sick, we very strongly encourage you to mask at the event. Viral shedding can continue for 5–10 days even after you’re feeling better!
  • If you mask, be aware that breaks in masking reduces their effectiveness. Be mindful of frequent mask and face touching.
  • Use hand sanitizer, sanitary wipes, and wash your hands frequently.
  • Report any post-event illness so we can inform participants accordingly.
  • Be responsible!

MOBILITY

The Social will take place inside a residential home. Please see accessibility notes below.

Front Entrance:
There are 2 steps with no railing up to the front door (29") which opens into the main living area.
There is a small bathroom (28" doorway) on the main level, with an 8" step going into the kitchen from the main living area.

Upper levels:
There are two upper levels accessed only by stairs. First stairwell is 21 steps to second floor (width of stairwell 29"). Second flight has 13 steps.

Back Entrance:
Entry from the back alley includes a side door (29") with a 2" lip into the garage, and another 2" lip from the garage door (29") onto the back deck. The back deck leads to the kitchen door (29" wide with a 3" lip). There is an 8" step going into the main living area (which includes bathroom) from the kitchen. We will have a small ramp available for the lips between the garage, back deck, and kitchen areas.

Hot tub:
The 4 person hot tub is located on the back deck. Hot tub entry is accessed by a large step (over two feet).

Bathroom access:
We regret that access to the bathroom is not barrier free. We will endeavour to secure fully accessible venue spaces for future events.

 

Play Party + Workshop Venue (Saturday)

(information borrowed from Pervert Palace)

  • The main entrance is a little narrow for some mobility devices (31”)  but a set of double doors can also be made available for entry. 
  • Entryways are flush with the ground (no ramp necessary), but ground outside is gravelly- there will be a plank to ease entry for anyone on wheels. 
  • Two washrooms are available on the main floor, also with somewhat narrow doorways (31-33”). 
  • There will be seating designated for access that can be moved around and used during scenes.
  • There is a second space in the basement, which can be accessed by two staircases (no elevator or chair lift). Additional washrooms in the basement. All main party activities (snacks, demos, etc) will take place on the main floor.

FRAGRANCE

Please arrive as fragrance free as you can to all Fantasme February events. Additional resources and instructions: here

We will do what we can to ensure that all of our venues are low-fragrance.
