WELCOME TO RULE 62
A recovery-based conference in Vancouver, BC.
"Don't take yourself too damn seriously!"
Upcoming Events
Our next Rule 62 Conference is in Spring 2027.
Until then, here's how we're keeping the fun (and fundraising) going.
End of Summer BBQ
Saturday September 5
11:00 AM - 2:00 PM
1825 West 16th Avenue, Vancouver, BC
Close out summer with good food, easy laughs, and low‑key connection. 🌞🍔
Our End of Summer BBQ brings together folks who believe in Rule 62’s spirit of not taking ourselves too seriously while still showing up for each other. Expect simple joys: grilled favourites, relaxed conversation, a meeting, and space to unwind while in fellowship.
All proceeds will support the 2nd annual Rule 62, Vancouver's annual LGBTQ2+ Roundup.
What is Rule 62?
Rule 62 is Vancouver’s home for fun in recovery — a new conference built on
joy, connection, and the spirit of “we are not a glum lot.”
Our purpose is simple: create, foster, and grow an annual LGBTQ2S+ international gathering where people from all over the world can experience laughter, fellowship, and solutions-based sobriety together.
Everyone is invited.
We also honour the legacy of Celebrate Sobriety, our previous Conference.
The tireless service of past committees laid the foundation
for everything we are building today.
Thank you.
The 2025 AA World Conference ultimately inspired Rule 62.
Different names — same heart, same purpose. The World Conference highlighted
what’s possible: recovery, community, and pure, unapologetic fun.
Welcome to Rule 62.
Let’s keep growing this — together.
