Wiggle Room accredited by Violence Prevention program

Certificate from Order an Angelot

Accredited by the Order an Angelot sexual violence prevention program, Wiggle Room aims to combat sexual assault, often targeting women and LGBTQ+ individuals at venues. Our staff and associates completed training to earn this certification, underscoring our dedication to safety.

The Order an Angelot protocol enhances our Safer Dance Space initiative by empowering individuals to seek assistance without hesitation. Inspired by successful international campaigns like Angel Shots and Ask for Angela, this program underscores our dedication to your well-being.

Sexual violence encompasses unwanted touching, groping, drink spiking, or harassment—all can be considered sexual assault under Canadian law. Consent must be clear, voluntary, and ongoing throughout any interaction. Coercion, manipulation, or any incapacity nullify consent. The video Tea Consent explains the importance of consent in a fun way.

Since our establishment in 2021, safety has been paramount at Wiggle Room. We employ a simple yet effective safety procedures initiated by the code ‘BANANA.’ It alerts staff to any concerns regarding safety or experiences of sexual violence. Our team will promptly assist the patron in a safe space, provides resources from the Toronto Rape Crisis Center and police, and ensures their well-being before departure.

A safe environment is a collective effort. We urge patrons to stay vigilant, intervene, and support one another. All our staff, including management, bartenders, servers, and security personnel, hold Smart Serve certificates and actively monitor patrons’ well-being.

We handle reports of past violence outside our events with sensitivity and follow established protocols.

We welcome your feedback.

Together Against Sexual Violence
During your interaction with the person seeking help: • Believe the person. • Be there to listen to them. • Focus on the needs of the person. • Avoid asking insensitive questions. • Stay calm and in control of your emotions.

MEMORY AID FOR THE PROTOCOL. STEP 1 Someone orders an Angelot. You offer to lead them to a safe place. The person accepts or refuses to go. STEP 2 If the person accepts, you accompany them to the safe place. If the person refuses, you give them the resource card. STEP 3 You explain to the person that they are safe and that they can take all the time they need. You give them a glass of water, evaluate the person's needs and ask them: • Do you have a friend in the bar? • Do you want to call someone?
