Peaches Sports Bar Staff and Legal Fund

OUR DEAREST AND MOST BELOVED COMMUNITY!

Peaches Sports Bar is incredibly sorry to have not been there for all of your sporting needs over the last few days.

Sadly, as I’m sure you’ve seen many of your beloved small businesses fall victim to over the last many years, we are currently locked out of the wonderful place they, thems, femmes, queers, boys, and girls have called home for the last two years for a safe and welcoming space to watch sports.

Our staff, and ownership team have been denied access to the building by the landlord, despite many requests to retrieve our belongings, paycheques, tips, electronics, equipment, and so many beautiful memories.

Many attempts to remedy the situation with the landlord have been made, but we have not been able to come to any kind of resolution.

The staff at Peaches Sports Bar are now reaching out to the community for support. While we are hopeful we will be able to come to a peaceful and prosperous solution, we currently have started this Go Fund Me to help with legal costs, support to negotiate with our landlord, settle with our wonderful local suppliers, but most importantly, to help to support our incredible hardworking staff that were all suddenly at loss for work and denied access to their hard earned wages.

We understand, especially in Toronto, falling victim to landlords who do not understand community is not uncommon. We have watched many of our queer and safe spaces be ripped from us over the last few years.

But we as a community are resilient, what we have done here is INCREDIBLY special, and none of it would have happened without every single one of you.

Any small donation, or even sharing of our effort here, is greatly appreciated.

There is no way for us to thank you enough.

Long Live Peaches
