Vigil Transgender Day of Remembrance

November 20 @ 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM EST

Transgender Day of Remembrance stands as a solemn reminder of the violence and discrimination trans people continue to face. Each year on November 20, communities worldwide hold vigils where the names of transgender individuals lost to violence are read aloud. These events provide space for reflection, grieving, and a recommitment to supporting the trans community. Vigils are often hosted by LGBTQ+ organizations, community centres, and places of worship, creating inclusive and supportive environments to collectively mourn and raise awareness.

Join us on Wednesday, November 20th in the SLC Black & Gold Room in remembering those who in our community we have lost to hate and intolerance.

Our Services

WUSA recognizes that much of the work we do happens on the traditional territory of the neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. The land we work on is covered by the Between the Lakes Treaty, No. 3 (1792), and this region is still home to First Nation, Inuit, and Metis peoples from across Turtle Island. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work, play and live on this land and acknowledge that it is our collective responsibility to make our community and world a better place for all people. We acknowledge that educational institutions have not been a safe space for Indigenous students in the past and we continue to work to ensure that this is no longer the case.

The work towards truth and reconciliation is ongoing, please do your part and take time to learn more: TRC 94 Calls to Action | MMIWG Calls to Justice Report | Native-Land.ca | Student Supports & Clubs
