The LGBTQIA+ Newcomer Program

The LGBTQIA+ Newcomer Drop-in is a social support group that is designed to make connections in a positive, inclusive space, through community engaging and arts based programming. The group meets through Zoom every Monday, 6pm to 7:30pm (except on holidays). The drop-in welcomes newcomers to Canada who identify with being part of the LGBTQIA+ community. The staff facilitators of the group refer participants to resources related to immigration and community health. The group discusses the intersectionality of being LGBTQ+ and a newcomer; shares knowledge and best practices about how to navigate systems as well as support; actively listens and respects each other’s stories and journeys.
