Despite the name, we’re here to make the world a little less scary. Here’s what we’re all about.

Mission Statement

To connect, support and empower our communities through shared experience, music and art.  

Values

We encourage new creatives to break out of their shells and share their stories because we believe eveyone’s experience adds immeasurable value to our community.

We highlight marginalized and vulnerable community groups because we don’t believe in leaving anyone behind.

We aim to inspire community-driven action by leading by example and volunteer our time and services to others.

Community-Driven Action

There are a variety of community intiatives that inspire us every day, each one with their own distinct needs and certainly none of them are more or less important than another. We encourage you to follow your passions to find a network or organization that speaks to you and see where you can help.

In 2025, Crooked Forest is focused on issues surrounding affordable and subsidized housing here in Canada, mental health initiatives and support systems for survivors of sexual assault.

We’d like to highlight the following organizations:

Youth Without Shelter
CAMH: The Center for Addiction and Mental Health
Toronto Rape Crisis Center

We are currently working towards our goal of fundraising $5000 for CAMH as part of our Believe in What You Want campaign. If you would like to donate, please e-mail us.
