What is Transgender Awareness Week?

Although 84% of Canadians* support equal rights and protections for trans people, it feels like transphobic comments and actions on social media and in our communities feel louder than ever.

This Trans Awareness Week, let’s come together to celebrate our trans friends, family members, neighbours, and selves, and take real action in support of trans folk. Trans allyship and trans joy are all the more important and impactful.

Let’s combat the rise in anti-trans discrimination with inclusion, education and pride.
