The West Island LGBTQ2+ Centre aims to create spaces where LGBTQ2+ people can feel welcomed and supported.
Located in the West Island of Montreal, the LGBTQ2+ Centre has a decade of experience creating programming in a region where no LGBTQ2+ specific resources previously existed.
Currently the LGBTQ2+ Centre runs 5 in-house programs at our site in Beaconsfield.
Youth Drop-In: Twice weekly drop-in from 4 pm to 8 pm where LGBTQ2+ youth can engage with others who understand what it is like to be LGBTQ2+ in society, and find support and friendship.
Young Adult Social: Twice monthly drop-in where LGBTQ2+ people between the ages of 18 and 30 can come to connect with other LGBTQ2+ people.
Adults and West Island Rainbow Seniors: Our Thursday Dinners provide a space where adults and seniors who identify as LGBTQ2+ can share in a meal and connect with a welcoming community and break the isolation felt by LGBTQ2+ people.
Transgender Support Group: The Transgender Support Group provides the only Trans exclusive space within the West Island region of Montreal, and is the Centre’s first intergenerational program.
Support Group for Friends and Family: A monthly meeting where those who are struggling with a loved one’s journey of discovery can come to find support in a judgement free space.
