To celebrate the return of the Vancouver Pride Festival to its home in the Davie Village for 2025, Health Initiative for Men (HIM) is proud to host its largest Pride community event to date – right at home, at 1033 Davie Street, dubbed “The Bush“. In collaboration with our neighbours at The Basic, we’re transforming the space outside our building into a vibrant Queer Wellness Garden – a welcoming, joyful, and restorative space where community members can connect, recharge, and take care of their health. This garden will serve as a place for community members to meet, access important health services such as Mpox vaccinations and drug checking, and also engage with relevant health information to strengthen their wellness throughout the summer.
The Bush is expected to host and serve over 1,000 community members throughout the day. Those guests will be welcomed by our team of staff and community volunteers who will offer them complimentary chilled drinks and ice cream, to help them cool off and unwind on what is expected to be a hot summer day.
This new ambitious vision is made possible with the support of HIM’s partners and sponsors including: VIIV Healthcare as the Title Sponsor, Davie Pharmacy and Credit Management Corporation as Gold Sponsors, F212 Steam Gym & Spa as Silver Sponsor, as well as MSK Health and Performance Clinics, Rain or Shine Homemade Ice Cream, The Basic, and West End BIA as in-kind sponsors and partners.
Together, we’re bringing wellness, connection, and celebration back to the heart of the Village. We can’t wait to welcome you to The Bush this Pride.
