Code of Conduct
Radstorm is a dry venue (though not a “sober” space) that operates under a harm-reduction, behaviour-based philosophy. This means you will not be turned away for being under the influence due to substance use outside the space, but you will still be held accountable for your actions. That being said, please do not drink or do drugs inside or on the sidewalk directly outside the space.
Radstorm does not tolerate violence, hatred, or oppressive behaviour. This includes but is not limited to sexualized violence or harassment, racism, transphobia, homophobia, sexism, ageism, and ableism.
