Happy Pride Month, Cape Breton!

We’re so excited to introduce something we’ve been working on quietly for a while and Pride Month felt like the perfect time to share it.

Affirming Access CB
A new, low‑barrier support program for trans, two‑spirit, and gender‑diverse folks in Cape Breton.

Whether you need help with groceries, a bill, or support getting off‑island for gender‑affirming care, we’re here to stand beside you with dignity‑centered, community‑led support.

This program is made possible through the generous support of the DAWN Fund.

Please note: Funding for this program is limited, and support will be offered on a weekly cycle based on available resources.

For more information, email [email protected].
