Anyone in Ottawa wanting to come and watch the debate on C-279, the Gender Identity Bill, is welcome to meet in front of Centre Block just outside the visitors entrance at the base of the peace tower at 1pm. We will go through security as a group and then head up to the gallery. Please do not bring anything that security won’t let you take in; pocket knives, weapons, tools, nail scissors, etc. Also note that ID will be required. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Sarah can be reached at 613-996-2625.

Support Us!

Queer Ontario is a not-for-profit organization operating on funds provided to us by our generous and capable supporters. Your donation will be channeled directly into our projects and operations, which will help us continue our educational and reformist work.

Unfortunately, because our mandate is deeply political, we cannot acquire charitable status and, as such, will be unable to issue you with a charitable tax receipt. We encourage your support in light of this systemic shortfall.

You can use our one-time donation option as many times as you would like:

Or, you can become a sustaining donor by contributing to Queer Ontario on a monthly basis.

We appreciate your ongoing generosity and support -- The Queer Ontario Steering Committee.
