Listen for the music and follow it down the stairs to the Snell Auditorium. For ages 13 to 20. Come if you are graduating a grade, a school, or a new you. There's always a reason to celebrate! Totally free of charge by your good queer neighbours. Snacks, drinks, and photo booth provided. You can optionally use the photo booth, and we will not take photos of people or events without permission. A professional journalist will take the photo booth photos and email them to you in nice, large, printable sizes. :-)

Parents are welcome too!

You don't have to be on the 2SLGBTQIA+ rainbow to join us!

Downtown Branch - Snell Auditorium

• You probably have a lot of unanswered questions about trans people and issues.

• Maybe you’re worried about what’s being taught in the classroom, or about what healthcare services are being offered to trans youth.

• You’ve heard terms like “parental rights” thrown around. You haven’t felt able to ask your questions and get answers that make sense to you.

• We get it, we understand. But what’s the other side of the story?

Join us for an event filled with candid conversation. Hear from Victoria as they make the case for trans rights, and then dive into an interactive Question and Answer period where nothing* is off limits.

*Okay, there are exceptions – threats and personal attacks aren’t welcome.
