Our Director
DavidHe/Him |

My name is David, I have been the Director at the Centre since June 2018, and was the Coordinator from July 2016. I hope to graduate from McGill in the School of Environment next semester (meaning whenever i decide to go back and do a next semester). I like to think of myself as an amateur drag queen, but while I can walk the walk, my makeup skills still leave much to be desired. In my spare time, I also like to read, write, play board games, video games, and I nap A LOT! Come talk to me about your favourite series, and I’d be happy to give it a try!
Our Coordinators

Young Adult Social Coordinator
Youth Drop-In Coordinator
My name is Sarah. I started coming to the centre just before I turned 17 and am coming up on 23. As staff and one of the drop-in coordinators of the centre, I take pride in the work I do and the difference I make in my community. The centre has played a large role in allowing me to become more confident in myself and my identity. In my spare time I love to play D&D, board games like Monopoly, read and discuss LGBTQ2+ issues with others.

Trans Support Group Coordinator
Youth Drop-In Coordinator
Hi! My name is Noah. I'm trans and gay. I'm currently studying Social Work at McGill University which is fuelling my passion for social justice. At the centre, I aim to be as approachable as possible as I truly care about the wellbeing of everyone who walks through our doors. In my spare time I love to watch and read Harry Potter, cuddle with my pet hamster named Dobby and play Ringette. Come talk to me about plot holes in the Harry Potter series, social issues or how weird goats are. I can't wait to meet you at our centre!

Our Volunteers
My name is Johanna and I am a parent of an out and very proud Queer daughter. I am a founding member of the parents group and I facilitate the monthly meetings. I believe that education about LGBTQ2+ issues is the foundation of understanding and I try to offer support and practical information that can help parents on their journey of acceptance. One of my passions is making cookies and cupcakes which I love decorating for events at the Centre.

Hi! I'm Matt, I've been volunteering at the centre since July 2018. I have a passion for graphic design, and i'm majoring in Communications with a minor in Sexuality Studies at Concordia with the hopes of being a filmmaker in the future! I love volunteering at the centre, cooking for the kids, and helping them let loose with their fellow queers! I also organize and run our monthly D&D games.

Hey! My name is Dome. I've studied many things in my 25 years on this Earth, including Computer Science, Interior Design, and Creative Arts. I've been coming to the Centre since 2016 and I love it here! Making a difference within the community and helping kids have always been very important to me, and the Centre has proved to be a great place for me to be able to do both of those. I love hanging out with our youth, adults and seniors and enjoy cooking, photography, and web design.

I am a Chinese adoptee, and past homeschooler. Currently, I study sociology at Concordia University, focusing on a path towards social work. During my free time I work with dogs, read, cook, play music and games (whether it be tabletop, video, or board), and spend time with friends.

After graduating with a B.A. in Philosophy from Stetson University, I started volunteering at the Centre in October 2017. I hope to be able to support and empower youth through a respectful and inclusive discourse. I am open-minded, a good listener, and enjoy learning about new activities.

Hey! My name is Tegan and I’ve been volunteering at the centre since 2018. I’ve been a part of the centre before that time and love how much of a safe and inviting space it really is. I work as an integration aide for the Lester B. Pearson school board and I studied in Special Care Counselling at Vanier College. In my spare time I love to listen to music, listening to true crime podcasts, reading and hanging out with my cats. I also enjoy staying as far away from my natural hair colour as possible.
