What We Do
Supporting Each Other
Getting by in a world designed for the cisgender majority is tough work for us trans people. From free snacks at (in-person) meetings and a sense of community and purpose, to dedicated trans swim nights in partnership with SPECTRUM, the GVWG does whatever we can to make it a little easier to be trans in the Region of Waterloo and Wellington.
Educating Social Service Providers
Research has shown that trans-identified individuals are in greater need of a variety of social service supports, yet often avoid them for fear of overt or accidental discrimination. Even when everyone at a workplace has good intentions, often structural factors make it difficult for us to make use of what the Region has to offer. Learn how to improve the accessibility of your organization's services to the trans people who need them!

The Gender Affirming Project
We have sample GC2B binders in all sizes, types, and skin tones, so you can make sure you will be happy with the size and colour before you order. This project is sponsored by a generous grant from the 519 in Toronto.
