The GAP Committee had an amazing experience attending OMSSA in Hamilton! 💙

We were honoured to have been invited to speak and share our L.O.V.E Framework while discussing the importance of compassion, language, and lived experience within services and systems.

Throughout the presentation, we shared the GAP flag, spoke openly about our individual lived experiences, and offered suggestions on how services and communities can become more compassionate, person-centered, and supportive.

L.O.V.E stands for:

✨ Listen to Learn
✨ Observe
✨ Validate
✨ Empower

These conversations remind us how important it is to see people beyond assumptions and create spaces where individuals feel heard, respected, and empowered.

Thank you to everyone who attended, listened, reflected, and engaged with us throughout the day. Together, we continue building stronger and more compassionate communities.

Grief looks different for everyone — and sometimes, it’s expressed in the smallest, most meaningful ways 💛

On April 17th, we hosted a Grief Workshop, participants came together to reflect, create, and connect. Through painted rocks, zine-making, and open conversations, individuals were able to share their experiences of grief in a safe and supportive space.

Each rock tells a story — of loss, love, healing, and remembrance.

A heartfelt thank you to Doors of Compassion - CFOC for opening their space, The Refuge Youth Outreach Centre for preparing the meal, and Pinewood, DMHS, and VON for helping create a space where individuals felt seen, heard, and supported. 💛

Together we can!
