Lesbian Solidarity Center

The CSL space is located on the third floor of a building with elevator access. The entrance door and the door leading to the elevator are not automatic.

If you need assistance opening the doors, please call us at 514-526-2452, and we’ll come down to let you in.

• Stim toys (fidget toys) are available for everyone to use.
• Noise-reducing headphones are also available.
• The overhead lighting has recently been replaced with warmer, dimmer lighting.
• We ask everyone to be mindful of things that may create sensory overstimulation (e.g., fragrances).
• The elevator is wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair or some mobility aids, but space is limited and access may be difficult with certain three- or four-wheeled mobility scooters. The space is accessible to mobility devices.
• Animals are not permitted in the building, except for service animals.
• The washrooms are located on the same floor as our space (3rd floor). The first washroom is wheelchair accessible. However, access may be difficult with mobility devices such as three- or four-wheeled mobility scooters. Please note that the doors are not automatic. The CSL team is available to assist as needed.
• To ensure everyone’s comfort, the CSL washrooms are gender-neutral. We recognize that the washrooms were not originally designed to be gender-neutral and that the adaptations are not perfect. Please use the one where you feel most comfortable, and reach out to a member of the team if needed.
• If you would like to have privacy while using the washroom, you can request the accompaniment of a CSL staff member or volunteer to the washroom door. This person can wait outside and ensure that no one else enters until you have finished and exited.
• The number of participants at our activities varies greatly. We are therefore unable to predict the noise level.
• We try to include an overview of the atmosphere in the event descriptions whenever possible.
• On-site, we have a private individual support room where you can take a break and reduce sensory overstimulation.

For any questions regarding accessibility or accommodation requests, please contact us at activites@solidaritelesbienne.qc.ca.
