Why Have Memberships?

FAB is a volunteer-run, non-profit organization. Many of our events are structured as members-only—not to exclude, but to support responsible planning and compliance with requirements such as liquor licensing and insurance.

Membership helps create a stable foundation that protects our Den of Bears (Board of Directors), our volunteers, and our attendees. It also enables us to host larger, safer, and more dynamic events that wouldn’t otherwise be possible.

At its core, membership is what allows FAB to continue building and supporting a strong, connected community.

Membership Requirements

FAB is a community primarily centered around male-presenting individuals who identify within the gay, bi, and queer spectrum. We are proud to foster a culture of inclusion, respect, and connection.

Membership is open to individuals 18+ residing in Alberta who feel aligned with our community and values. While our focus is on male-identifying and male-presenting members, we welcome those who engage with FAB in a respectful and supportive way.

At its core, FAB is about building real-world connections—creating spaces where people can step away from apps and come together in person, form friendships, and be part of something bigger.

All memberships are subject to approval by the Den of Bears (Board of Directors).
