All are welcome! Join 2Spirit & Trans Community March North Bay and community members this Sunday, Aug 23rd from 1-3pm!

JOIN US this Sun, Aug 16th and next Sun, Aug 23rd from 1-3pm for coffeehouses for the trans community. 🏳️‍⚧️✨ Our new venue is Crossroads Convenience, located at 348 Algonquin Ave, North Bay. All are welcome! Please RSVP for one/both Sundays via DM so we have an accurate estimate to give to the venue.

In light of a national coffee chain partnering with a franchise with a transphobic creator, and attacks on trans rights and legislation, we want to make space for trans people locally. Support local businesses! Enjoy coffee, tea, make new friends, and resist transphobia. Hope to see you there! 🏳️‍⚧️✨
