Skipping Stone

Skipping Stone Connecting trans and gender diverse youth, adults and families across Alberta w/ supports & services.

We are a not-for-profit organization based in Calgary, Alberta. Having observed the barriers and stigma that transgender and gender creative youth experience and wanting to change those narratives, the Skipping Stone Foundation was formed to give youth positive and affirming opportunities surrounding their gender identity. Our mission is to empower transgender and gender diverse youth by providing them with the resources and opportunities to follow and achieve their goals and dreams.

Remember those 90s Saturday mornings when you’d roll out of bed, pour yourself a giant bowl of sugary cereal, and sink into the couch for hours of cartoons — no plans, no rush, just you, the TV, and that crinkly cereal box? That’s the vibe we’re bringing back with Pride in Your PJs!

Join us on Saturday, August 29th at Landmark Cinemas Country Hills (388 Country Hill Blvd NE). Starting at 9am, we’ll have a cereal bar breakfast with all your favs, followed by a private 10am screening of The Land Before Time.

Kids, adults and everyone in between can show up in their favourite pyjamas, grab a bowl of cereal, and settle in for a movie with other q***r, trans and ally families and their loved ones.

Free to attend.
