Hi everyone,
We want to take a moment to speak honestly with our community.
Over the past few months, you may have noticed a drop in activity from us, including the recent cancellation of our games nights and a lack of responses on Facebook Messenger and email. We know this has been disappointing, and we truly apologize for the silence and any confusion or frustration it may have caused.
The truth is: we're tired. We are a small group of q***r and trans volunteers, many of whom have been navigating physical and mental health challenges on top of juggling multiple obligations. Like many small, volunteer-run groups, we've been running on passion and care for our community, but that only goes so far before burnout takes a toll. Right now, we need time to rest, reflect, and figure out what our next steps will be.
This isn’t goodbye — it’s a pause. We're taking a break to focus on recovery and sustainability, so we can come back stronger and continue supporting the local 2SLGBTQIA+ community in a way that’s healthy for everyone involved. If you have previously reached out to Volunteer with us, we hope to be in touch soon to get you on-boarded and supporting or facilitating future events.
To those who’ve reached out recently — thank you for your patience. We see you, we value you, and we’ll be reconnecting once we’re ready to move forward.
With love, gratitude, and solidarity,
💖 The Terrace Pride Pals Team
