Herstory Gala Moves to D/6 Bar & Lounge Thanks to Parq Casino and BCLC

Feb 3, 2025

We are thrilled to share an exciting update about Herstory, our annual fundraising gala! Thanks to the incredible support of Parq Casino and BCLC, we are moving this year’s event to D/6 Bar & Lounge, a stunning rooftop venue at The Douglas Hotel.

With its panoramic city views, outdoor patio, and expanded seating, D/6 provides the perfect space to bring our community together in support of women, girls, and two-spirit people in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES). This move allows us to welcome more guests, create an even more memorable evening, and—most importantly—raise essential funds for our drop-in centres.

Parq Casino and BCLC: Our Platinum Sponsors

Parq Casino and BCLC are not just offering a new venue—they are also Herstory’s Platinum Sponsor, with a generous $40,000 contribution. Their support brings us closer to our goal of raising $250,000 to fund drop-in centres for women in the DTES, ensuring access to essential services, safety, and community support.

A Heartfelt Thank You to Vancouver Art Gallery

We also want to extend our deep gratitude to the Vancouver Art Gallery, which has hosted Herstory in past years. Their support has been instrumental in shaping this event, and Herstory would not be what it is today without them.

Join Us for an Unforgettable Evening

This move to D/6 Bar & Lounge marks an exciting new chapter for Herstory. More space means more opportunities to support the women of the Downtown Eastside. We invite you to join us for this incredible event as we continue working towards a future where all women are safe, valued, and supported.
