Drop-In Periods
Drop-in periods are from 4 pm to 7 pm 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 wi-fi and couches, you will be warmly welcomed!
"Éclats de fierté ensoleillés" Lunches
During the school year, TransEstrie opens its doors one lunchtime 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 am and 1:30 pm, every Wednesday.
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.
