Big Trans Picnic

The 519's Trans Youth Mentorship Program invites 2-Spirit, Trans and Non-Binary youth in Toronto for an exciting and fun time at Christie Pits Park for a big trans picnic! Join us for a good time frolicking in the sun, sharing delicious snacks and getting to know each other.

Come meet other trans, non-binary and 2-Spirit young people, make new friends and find out more about the Trans Youth Mentorship Program. Snacks will be provided, but participants can also bring food. We will be bringing some card games and art supplies. Participants can meet the group either at The 519 at 4:30 pm or at Christie Subway Station at 5:00pm.

Please note that this event is exclusive to 2-spirit, trans and non-binary youth. Allies are kindly asked to respect the closed nature of the group.
