Calendar
If you have any questions about the events and how to participate, contact services@transestrie.org.
We will be closed from December 24th to January 8th, for the holidays.
Drop-In Periods
Drop-in periods are from 4pm to 7pm on Mondays and Fridays.
The drop-in periods allow you to come to our office without having made an appointment with us.
Whether it’s to ask questions to our staff, grab a book, pick up gender-affirming gear, or simply take advantage of our wifi and couches, you will be warmly welcomed!
"Éclats de fierté ensoleillés" Lunches
During the school year, TransEstrie opens its doors a few lunchtimes a week to welcome 2SLGBTQ+ students from nearby schools. Safe from anti-LGBT acts and bullying, these young people can come together and share their experiences to build resilience and prevent negative impacts on their mental health.
The space is open between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. In April, we’re open on the 4th, 11th, 17th, 18th, 24th, 25th and 30th. Eventually, we’ll be open for lunch three times a week.
This initiative is made possible by Christine Labrie’s Fonds d’investissement citoyen. We’d like to thank Christine Labrie and the public for their support!
Discussion Groups
Trans, non-binary and questioning adults (18+)
From 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., alternating Wednesdays and Thursdays. The discussion groups are a place to meet other adults who have a similar experience in order to discuss different topics, related or not to transness. It takes place at 69 rue Wellington Nord, Sherbrooke.
This month, the group for adults is on Wednesday the 3rd and Thursday the 18th.
Trans, non-binary and questioning teens (14-17)
From 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., alternating Wednesdays and Thursdays. The discussion groups are a place to meet other teens who have a similar experience in order to exchange on different subjects, related or not to transness. It takes place at 69 rue Wellington Nord, Sherbrooke.
This month, the group for teens is on Wednesday the 10th at the same time as the group for parents and loved ones, and Thursday the 25th.

Café causerie midi-ZOOM - L'accès à la transition légale et le jugement de la cour d'appel
April 16th, from 12am to 1pm. This event is online, and held in French.
Our Cafés causeries are discussions on a different topic each month, open to everyone and sometimes featuring a guest speaker. Our midi-ZOOM events are perfect for those who want to squeeze a bit of learning and sharing into their work day!
This month, we demystify access to legal transition, especially after last month’s Court of Appeal ruling changing these laws for minors. All are welcome!
Community supper
April 19th, from 4 pm to 7 pm.
Our community dinners are an opportunity to connect with others in our communities while sharing a good meal. Bring food to share!
Other Activities
March 12th and 26th, 4pm-7pm.
Are you a senior who’d like to forge intergenerational links with the community’s youth, break isolation and take part in a fun activity? Do you know someone who would be interested? Join us at our Crocheting the Rainbow event! You can learn to crochet packers and breastforms, two items that help trans, non-binary and questioning people live authentically and comfortably in their own bodies.
You’re welcome at any level of experience, even if you’ve never crocheted before! There’s nothing to bring: all materials are generously provided in partnership with Tricot Thé Serré. Snacks and beverages will be provided.
We’d especially like to thank Horizon pour les ainés: their financial support makes this project possible.
On April 22nd, from 5 to 8 pm, join an epic Dungeons and Dragons adventure! Sign-up is obligatory. More details to follow.
We’ll be swearing in your name and gender change applications from 1 to 6 pm on April 29th!
