We have a GREAT community in Quesnel! Your generous donations have supported a number of events and services for the Society.  Donations covered costs such as rent and utilities (when Our Space was open); support groups; and bursaries. Although we had to close Our Space until the Society becomes sustainable, we still host events like Youth in Transition.  In the fall of 2021 we created a new program, Subsidized Counselling for LGTQ2S+ Youth.  We hope to secure a larger grant this year to expand this program. This year (2022) we provided a two more $500 bursaries to LGBTQ+ youth who have graduated from high school.

 

 There is even more that can be done - with donations and grants from the people of Quesnel. We rely on your donations!

​

We also use donations to fund our annual Pride Parade and Afterparty, which gives LGBTQ+ people of Quesnel an opportunity to gather together and celebrate our diverse identities in a safe place.  This year with the sponsorship of businesses like Telus, Royal Bank, and Scotia Bank (not to mention KMax who provided the games!), we were able to create a Volunteer Appreciation BBQ and Youth BBQ at the Billy Barker, and these were a great hit. Without donations from our community, we have struggled to fund these vital events. It is important to have a strong, resilient community of LGBTQ+ people to provide peer support and representation of the gender and sexuality spectrums. Your donations support this!
