We acknowledge and pay our respects to the territory that we travel through and share our stories on. To the Traditional Owners, Elders, Ancestors, and Young Leaders of these territories. We acknowledge, with full respect, the strength of Indigenous Peoples (First Nations, Métis, and Inuit) and communities, continuing to practice culture, and connection to land; the power and excellence of Indigenous peoples and communities fighting to protect and look after Land, Community, Language and Lore, in the face of ongoing colonial interruptions and cultural genocide. In particular we acknowledge and pay our respects to the sovereign peoples of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səl’ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) on whose unceded land IGNITE! is based.

Respect others

Any sexism, racism, antisemitism, transphobia, ableism, homophobia or any other kind of discrimination will NOT be tolerated. Any violence or harassment will result in an immediate dismissal from the festival.

Latecomers

Latecomers will be admitted within reason. Artists, producers, tech and staff worked really hard to develop each of our IGNITE! nights, so don’t miss out on the night’s full programming.

At IGNITE! we believe in the importance of giving equal opportunities to all of our artists of showcasing their amazing work and perspectives. In an effort to offer everyone the same access to an audience, set times will not be publicly disclosed.

Trigger warnings

Some of the programming in the festival will contain suggestive content and/or coarse language. You can find content + trigger warnings on our ticket site and at the Historic Theatre.
