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.
