As we step into 2025, we’re reminded of the power of community to create lasting change. The past year has been nothing short of transformative, and we owe it all to the resilience and solidarity of the LGBTQ+ community, and incredible supporters like you.
2024 was a pivotal year for Outhouse LGBTQ+ Centre. Together, we launched our one-to-one community casework service; we introduced new peer-support groups and social spaces, reflecting the diversity of our community; and we took big strides toward our long-term goal of becoming a world-class LGBTQ+ centre. These achievements were only possible because of the support we received from our community.
