Outhouse LGBTQ+ Centre.

A space for the LGBTQ+ community

We might seem unassuming from the outside, but within our walls, we have some big ambitions. At Outhouse LGBTQ+ Centre, our vision is a future where LGBTQ+ people are safe, seen, and celebrated. It is our mission to make that vision a reality.

Outhouse is a space for LGBTQ+ people to connect with one another, with their community, and with themselves. We are a space for support, a space to feel safe, a space to be understood. And we are a space for hope. We advocate for and amplify the voices of our community, working to strengthen the movement and promote equity and justice for all LGBTQ+ people.

We are your local hangout spot, your shoulder to lean on, your biggest champion, and your tireless advocate. We are your LGBTQ+ centre.
