Serving the Drama
Welcome to the most opulent event of the Ottawa Capital Pride season! The Ottawa Queer Softball League (OQSL) and Bruce House are teaming up once again to bring you a high-energy afternoon of community, camp, and charitable giving.
This year, we are trading sports jerseys for ultra-glam 80s prime-time soap opera realness and iconic pop diva energy. Think maximum excess: mega shoulder pads, towering hair, sequins, and lamé. It’s a high-drama takeover of the diamond where every outfit is a power statement.
