Creating Compassionate Futures

About Our Work

The Importance of Education

Thank you to Key West Video Inc. for helping make our vision a reality.

With an alarming increase in homophobia and transphobia in Canada, our work has become even more necessary.

We are committed to creating inclusion through education, being role models for the youth we work with, and using our voices to inspire change.
