Guelph Sexuality Conference 2016: Challenges, Barriers & Rewards Inside Oasis Aqualounge

On Thursday June 23rd, Marketing Director/Event Producer, Fatima Mechtab presented at the 38th Annual Guelph Sexuality Conference. The theme of this year’s conference was ‘Pleasure,’ and Fatima developed a topic entitled ‘Inclusivity & Pleasure-Barriers, Challenges & Rewards Inside Oasis Aqualounge.’   This presentation aimed to address the broad concept of inclusivity as relates to a business such as Oasis Aqualounge.  It posed such questions as: how does a business strive to be inclusive when faced with such issues of accessibility and how can a business maintain the needs of it’s core demographic while expanding to include other identities and interests?

This talk was delivered  at Rozanski Hall inside Guelph University.  Other sex-positive community members and educators were also present including Carlyle Jansen and Dr. Jessica O’Reilly. The presentation was 75 minutes in length, which included a section for Q & A.  A diverse group of  attendees were present and engaged the speaker with interesting and challenging questions.  The conference allowed a wonderful opportunity to discuss the progress of Oasis Aqualounge in terms how inclusive the business has become, over the past 5 years.

We look forward to presenting again and want to thank the organizers for allowing Oasis Aqualounge to be a part of this year’s conference.

 

Oasis AquaFlirts Celebrate World Naked Bike Ride 2016

Saturday June 11th  marked the  annual World Naked Bike Ride in Toronto.  This  ride is a peaceful, fun-loving protest against oil dependency and urban pollution. It also promotes safe bike riding and alternative forms of transportation. The Oasis AquaFlirts took full advantage of the beautiful, sunny weather and rode down from Oasis Aqualounge to Coronation Park to engage in socializing, body painting and spreading the word about the club.

This is the 3rd year that Oasis Aqualounge has participated in the ride. The event drew hundreds of  participants  and it seems to grow more vibrant, colorful and even more naked every year! We want to thank guests and friends of the club who joined us during the ride, making it a beautiful, community tradition and a unique way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

We are excited to share a fantastic article by Naked News  from the 2015  World Naked Bike Ride event, along with fabulous photos of bikes, bums and the AquaFlirts.

 

AquaFlirts Go Green-Global Marijuana March: May 7th

On Saturday May 7th, the Oasis AquaFlirts joined over 20, 000 marches in support of the legalization of marijuana.  While Oasis Aqualounge is  a completely smoke- free establishment, we do support such liberal values and freedoms.  The Global Marijuana March celebrated its 18th year, attracting supporters, peaceful protesters and cannabis users from all walks of life.

The AquaFlirts handed out promotional postcards to those interested in learning more about Oasis Aqualounge.  Saturday’s visit to  Queen’s Park  offered the chance to get the word out about Oasis, as well as the chance connect with like-minded, spirited individuals on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.  Check out  the fun they had and be sure to watch for more AquaFlirt sightings around Toronto, this summer.
