SUSPENSION SUNDAY
MARCH 1

VENUE: Green Door Studios – 1016 Upper Wellington St. Hamilton, Ontario

The Ontario Suspension Collective is back at it in Hamilton on Sunday, March 1st, 2026!

We’re super excited to be back in Hamilton at the Green Door for the first time — but definitely not the last time in 2026!

Event Schedule:

• 4:00 PM – 8 PM — Public Open Hours

  • Visitors are welcome to drop in, ask questions, observe the suspension floor, and get to know the Ontario Suspension Collective during the OSC Open Hours. You can purchase tickets for the Open Hours at our Suspension Sunday Eventbrite page or pay at the door.

  • The cost to join us at Open Hours: $25

IF YOU’RE SUSPENDING

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND: To ensure the best experience, please stay hydrated, well-nourished, and rested before your suspension. Feeling hungry, tired, or run down can negatively impact your experience.

ENHANCING YOUR EXPERIENCE: We encourage you to bring music with you for your suspension — we find it can help amplify the experience. We have access to a fairly loud speaker that you can connect to with your phone.  We also encourage you to bring a support person with you; having someone you trust with you can help reduce anxiety that you might have before suspending.

We ask that you arrive at least 30 - 45 minutes before your scheduled time so we can start promptly and we ask for some flexibility, as the schedule throughout the day is subject to some slight changes. 

WHAT TO EXPECT: After you pay your deposit you will receive an email that confirms the details of your suspension — the type of suspension, the time of your suspension and details about the venue. Each suspension is scheduled for 1.5 hours. We have limited time in the studio so we must adhere to this schedule.

PLEASE NOTE: If you're planning to do a suspension with 10 + hooks and more intricate rigging please include the details of that in the Additional Comments section at the bottom of the Registration form. We may need to adjust the schedule or we may need to suggest other arrangements such as a private suspension.


THIS IS A PUBLIC EVENT
OSC members and other suspendees will be present throughout the day. We will be hosting Open Hours from 4 PM - 7:30 PM at this event. During this time a small group of no more than 10 people who are interested in seeing suspension first hand may be in attendance. If you do not feel comfortable suspending during the Open Hours please select a time earlier in the day before 4 PM.

If you would prefer to do a private suspension, we can provide you with that experience; however, it would not happen during this event, it would happen at a later date. Please email us at ontario.suspensions@gmail.com to inquire about private suspension experiences.

HOOKS & SHACKLES
Hooks and shackles will be provided for your suspension.

The hooks we provide have been used before and processed and sterilized by members of the OSC who are trained and certified in the Sterilization Cycle for Body Piercing. If you have concerns about using shared equipment or would prefer to bring your own sterile hooks, please email us in advance.

If you intend to use your own hooks, we ask you to ensure that they are properly packaged and processed and that the sterile packaging has not been compromised. For information on travelling with hooks and suggestions on preventing packaged hooks from being compromised, please email us at ontario.suspensions@gmail.com.

Please contact us at ontario.suspensions@gmail.com for more information about our hook reprocessing and sterilization services if you would like to use your own hooks and need to have them cleaned, processed and sterilized prior to the event. Please make arrangements for hook reprocessing and sterilization with us at least 10 days before the event. 

We DO NOT have hooks available for purchase at this time.


CONSULTATION CALLS
We are offering consultation calls to everyone who registers for an OSC event and to anyone interested in suspending with us. After registering, you'll receive a follow-up confirmation email with more information on scheduling a consultation. If you're thinking about suspending with us but would like to have a consultation with us first, please send us an email to ontario.suspensions@gmail.com, and we'll schedule a call with you as soon as possible.
