Safe Alliance

Safe Alliance We provide support & resources regarding 2SLGBTQIA+ issues, while raising awareness throughout HVGB. From this initial meeting the Safe Alliance was born.

In November 2009, a group of service providers within the community found a need for additional resources and supports for their clients that were questioning or defining their sexuality. Particularly workers within the mental health, youth, and addictions fields, were feeling overwhelmed by client needs as opposed to resources available. One service provider, Stel Raven, began contacting agencies

to create a network of supportive resource people. Using this experience and new concerns/needs identified, a general meeting was called asking the public to come together to create a supportive environment for le***an, gay, bisexual, transgendered, and questioning (LGBTQ) individuals. Members come from different backgrounds, agencies, ages, sexualities, and genders; we meet monthly and anyone can join at anytime. Partnerships have been established through hosting events and sharing expertise with a variety of government, community, and non-profit agencies. Safe Alliance has been steadily gaining support and momentum throughout the Labrador region with a realistic strategic plan to establish as an organization representing the 2SLGBTQlA+ community. Through this commitment, SA proudly hosted the first Labrador Pride Celebration on July 24, 2010, which was heavily supported by many businesses/agencies and brought together over a hundred people in Goose Bay, Labrador.

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️SAFE ALLIANCE PRIDE WEEK 2026🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈
🌈This year, we are proud to introduce our Pride Week theme: “Out & About.”
This theme reflects a year-round message of Pride: that 2SLGBTQIA+ people are visible, connected, engaged, and an important part of the social fabric of our communities. Pride is not only something we celebrate during one week or one event; it is a mindset, a commitment, and a celebration of belonging that should be acknowledged every day.
