We follow the current law, so it is permitted to bring cannabis on our site, but you can't smoke it (other forms, such as edibles, are allowed).

Piknic takes place rain or shine, so don't hesitate to bring your raincoat. In the event of extreme weather, the event may be interrupted or cancelled. Be sure to follow us on social media for last minute details.

Lost something? Fill out this form the day after the event to find out if your item has been found. If you do not hear from us, it unfortunately means that we have not found your lost item. After 15 days, unclaimed items will be donated to charity.

Whether on a tree, a container or anything in fact, it is strictly forbidden to give a climbing demonstration on the Piknic site. We wouldn't want you hurting yourself... or damaging the equipment! Attention, risk of expulsion on the spot!

No, dogs are not allowed, except for clearly identified service dog with proof. 

To ensure we're on the same page, let’s go over the definition of consent as defined by the Department of Justice of Canada (2022): “Consent is the voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity.” In practice, this applies to everything from steamy sexual contact to kisses, getting closer, or even touching someone’s boots to check if it’s real fur. Respecting consent also means respecting people’s personal space.

However, asking for someone’s consent doesn’t automatically mean they’ll give it to you. You also need to wait for and respect their response, whether it’s positive or negative. So, if you send someone “skiing” because they said no, you’re not respecting their consent.

When someone consents, their agreement is given freely, clearly, and enthusiastically. Not under pressure or the influence of substances. Clear consent is like a “yessir my yeti!” whereas non-consent could be a “no,” silence, or someone who seems to avoid answering.

If you’re unsure, it probably means the person isn’t consenting. And what do you do if someone says no? Accept their answer, give them back their space, and enjoy the festival with your friends. Easy breasy.

It’s important to check for consent to make sure you’re respecting each person’s boundaries. This way, everyone can have fun together in a safe space. Isn’t that wonderful?

Especially since people around us (including ourselves) might be drinking, which requires us to be a bit more mindful of others’ space and boundaries. Alcohol is never an excuse to disregard others’ consent or to let your hands wander a little too much.

Is someone not respecting your consent? Do you feel uncomfortable or just not right for any reason? We got you! You can reach out to our resources:

• The GRIP intervention team is on-site at all times. GRIP is a psychosocial research and intervention group aimed at reducing the risks related to substance use in festive environments. No judgment here, just support and guidance.
• You can also talk to a member of our security team to get help or assistance in locating the GRIP team.
