Are you a 2SLGBTQ+ newcomer (18+) to Canada seeking support and community?

Starting this fall, join Arriving Together, a peer and settlement support group created in partnership with Family Service Toronto and Rainbow Railroad with funding from IRCC.

This welcoming space offers connection, support, and the chance to build meaningful relationships.

Together, we explore community-building conversations and activities, workshops on settlement, employment, healthcare, and 2SLGBTQ+ resources, and group outings to experience the city.

You are welcome to join at any time—the group is open.

Ending child poverty requires action.

Campaign 2000, endorsed by 50 partners, has sent an open letter to the Prime Minister, Secretaries of State and all elected officials urging them to pass Bill S-212, An Act respecting a national strategy for children and youth, without delay.

The Bill would require the federal government to work across jurisdictions, alongside First Nations, Inuit and Métis leaders, partners, families, and children and youth themselves, to develop a coordinated national strategy with measurable objectives and an action plan.

It is an important opportunity to move forward on the work of ending child poverty in Canada.

Read the open letter in English:
