Consent FAQ

  • 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’re mean to someone 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!” 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.

  • 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? You can talk to a member of our security team to get help.
