The venue
- Entrance: the main entrance is at street level with powered doors. Interior doors (to the washrooms and event spaces) are not powered.
- Event spaces: all conference, Lab and festival events are on the main floor. The second floor (Zine Library and office) is up 19 steps and is not fully accessible.
- Washrooms: two communal washrooms on the main floor, each with a wheelchair-accessible stall. The hallway to one of them has two tight corners that can be difficult for larger mobility devices. Mirrors are not angled, and some fixtures (paper towels, hand dryer) are mounted high.
- Bar: because the bar is high, Tranzac staff can bring table service on request, or bring the payment terminal to you.
- Service animals are welcome when accompanying a visitor with a disability. Pets are not permitted in the building.
Getting to the Tranzac
- Transit: a short walk from Spadina station (Lines 1 and 2) and Bathurst station (Line 2).
- Parking: the Green P lot on the Tranzac property has one accessible parking spot. The next nearest accessible spot is in the Green P lot on Lippincott St, south of Bloor.

This Website
Beyond the festival venues, we’re committed to making deadlyexposure.ca and bloodinthesnow.ca accessible to everyone. We test pages with automated tools, including the WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool (opens in new tab) and axe (opens in new tab), and are working toward conformance with WCAG 2.2 Level AA (opens in new tab).
Our latest automated test results:
- This accessibility page (): no WCAG 2.2 Level AA errors found with the axe accessibility checker, in both day and night mode.
- bloodinthesnow.ca homepage (, WAVE): zero errors and zero contrast errors, AIM score 9.6 out of 10.
- deadlyexposure.ca homepage (, WAVE): zero errors and zero contrast errors, AIM score 9.8 out of 10.
We’re extending this testing across the rest of both sites. Automated testing catches many issues but not all — if you encounter a barrier anywhere on this site, please let us know using the contact information below so we can address it as quickly as possible.
Tickets and festival passes are sold through goelevent (opens in new tab), a third-party ticketing service whose website we don’t control. If you have any trouble buying tickets there, contact us using the information below and we’ll help.
