Guidelines

Come in through the front outer doors and inner doors, and place outdoor footwear in the trays provided at the front door. You are welcome to bring indoor footwear for your comfort.
Feel free to bring ritual robes to change into. You are welcome to wear your ritual robes.
Please ensure that you bring your own reusable plate, cup, and cutlery to partake in the feast.
When bringing a feast dish to share, please label it with the ingredients so those with food allergies or dietary restrictions can make good choices.
At the venue, feast food should be restricted to finger foods that do not need to be heated, as we have limited use of the venue kitchen (fridge & microwave available).
Alcohol is not permitted at any NWC-Canada Sabbat.
Only those leading ritual and/or calling the directions are permitted to use their athames. Please ensure your athame is peace-bonded and not drawn, or leave it at home.
