Right to Skate is committed to making the Saskatoon skateboard community vibrant, inclusive, welcoming, and safe for transgender and 2SLGBTQIA+ identifying skateboarders. That’s why we have created a weekly social space for 2SLGBTQIA+ people to gather at skateparks and other public skate spaces. This project has undergone several name changes, formerly Girls, Gays and Theys, then becoming Women, Trans, and 2SLGBTQIA+ Night. Its current iteration is Women and Queer Skate Meetups.

women & queer skate meetups
Women and Queer Skate Meetups are for women, nonbinary and two-spirit skaters, trans men and women, and other queer identities under the 2SLGBTQIA+ umbrella. By showing up in the company of other women and queer skaters, we create a space that is safe, welcoming, and less intimidating than the experience of going to a skatepark on your own.
Meetups are unstructured, community-building hangouts, and are presently hosted every week May through October. They are open to all ages but typically are attended by older skaters aged 20-40. we have free rental skateboards, helmets, and pads available for those interested.
