Other Activities

Inauguration of our Abri des jeunes and RDAAG Guide

Trans, non-binary and questioning youth need places where they can be themselves and meet other youth who share similar experiences. Thanks to a donation from MP Christine Labrie, TransEstrie is proud to unveil L’Abri des jeunes: a space that fills this fundamental need. It is our hope that L’Abri will be a safe place in the heart of downtown for the teens of our community. You are invited to come celebrate the inauguration with us!

This will also be an opportunity to celebrate the launch of our RDAAG (Gender Affirming Gear Distribution Resource) Product Information Guide. The RDAAG Guide is a digital and print tool that outlines different gender-affirming items, how to use them, how to clean them, how to store them, as well as safety rules and other useful tips and tricks about them. You will be able to see the guide and hear about its conception from its creators.
