Queer Inclusion

What you need to know

We work to support and engage people who are Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer and gender diverse, agender, intersex, or other identities related to sex, gender, or attraction.

We work to support and engage people of all ages who are Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer and gender diverse, agender, intersex, or other identities related to sex, gender, or attraction (2SLGBTQIA+).

Our goals

  • Improve the health and wellbeing of 2SLGBTQIA+ residents
  • Make sure 2SLGBTQIA+ people have access to safe activities, programs, and social opportunities
  • Include 2SLGBTQIA+ residents in Park Board and City planning events
  • Listen and respond to 2SLGBTQIA+ people to better understand community barriers and needs

What's happeningNew programs

We’re offering programs serving the Two-Spirit, Trans, Gender Diverse (2STGD), and broader 2SLGBTQIA+ community, including: 

  • 2STGD swims, workouts, yoga, arts and crafts for children and adults, and more
  • 2SLGBTQIA+ circus play, social craft sessions, Two-Spirit, Queer or Trans people who are Black, Indigenous, People of Colour (2SQT IBPOC) yoga, and special events for all

Many programs are offered year-round while some pause for the summer, join our mailing lists for updates.

Recreation programs

People swimming, floating, and relaxing in a pool on a sunny day.

Connect with 2SLGBQIA+ community members and find programs for all ages.

2SLGBTQIA+ people already take part in recreation at our facilities and community centres, but some face barriers that require specialized programs and exclusive spaces to feel safe and welcome.
