Workers at a theatre in Vancouver are rallying for support in anticipation of protests planned Tuesday over summer camp programming for children and teens.

One member, Heather Turnbull, told CTV News that she hopes kids who are attending the drag camp will feel empowered by the support and proud to be part of the community.

One online fundraiser that was organized last week in response to the planned rally has amassed more than $16,000 in a matter of five days. “We have officers monitoring should anything criminal arise” said Const. Tania Visintin, VPD spokesperson.
