Below is our listing of local lesbian events in Ottawa for March. These Ottawa queer women events have something for everyone, and are updated on a regular basis by someone who lives in Ottawa.
From the basic gender/sex notions that sustain queer thinking to the rich anti-oppression reflection that nourishes queer organizing — including the contradictions and challenges that queer movements face today — this workshop aims to clarify and deepen our understanding of queer politics. This is an all-level workshop for queers and queer allies. Feb 14, 7pm. Free. Venus Envy, 320 Lisgar.
