  • The 519 is Toronto based and offers a wealth of programs and services as well as education, training, and online resources.

    Egale is a nonprofit focused on advocacy and education. It has wonderful resources ranging from helpful one-pagers on vocabulary to legal research and advocacy.

    Sherbourne Health offers community health services and programs the focus on 2SLGBTQ people, newcomers to Canada, and those experiencing homelessness. The queer-specific site Rainbow Health Ontario has excellent information including the Trans Health Knowledge Base.

    Hassle Free Clinic in Toronto provides a variety of free medical and counselling services related to sexual health. The clinic offers different hours for men and women clients, allowing trans clients to attend wherever they feel most comfortable.

    If you are looking for a specific support, you are always invited to ask in session.
