Feeling the winter blues? Shake them off with a cozy night of board games, good company, and rainbow fun, hosted by the newly formed Bowen Island Pride Society (BIPS)!
When: Wednesday, February 26, 6 to 9 pm
Where: The Bowen Island Legion
Who: 19+ (don’t worry, we’ve got all-ages events coming up too)
Even on our wonderful island, winter can feel isolating. Many Boweners find ourselves thinking wistfully of summer, of the parties, festivals, and parades that bring us together. BIPS is here to keep that spirit of celebration and connection alive for our 2SLGBTQIA+ community and allies, all year round.
BIPS was born from the incredible energy of last year’s first-ever Pride Stride, Ride, and Community Picnic. The overwhelming support from Boweners and local organizations made one thing clear: our island needed a way for people to celebrate who they are and who they love — not just once a year, but all year long.
BIPS is an entirely volunteer-run organization, and our values include joy, connection, safety, and advocacy. And we’re just getting started! Mark your calendars for our upcoming events, like a Legion Dinner on May 23 and, of course, the 2025 Pride Parade on June 7. Plus, Bowen Pride merch is on the way, so you can wear your pride all year round!

We’d love to hear from you! And we can’t wait to see you on February 26.
