Transgender Awareness Week (Nov 13 - 19)

Each year, between November 13 – 19, people and organizations around the country participate in Trans Awareness Week to help increase understanding about transgender people and the issues members of the community face.

Trans Awareness Week takes place the week before Transgender Day of Remembrance on November 20. Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) is an annual observance on November 20 that honours those whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence.

Alumni Hall at 46361 Yale Rd, Chilliwack

The evening will include:
