Executive Director
My name is David, I have been the Director at the Centre since June 2018, and was the Coordinator from July 2016. I have a bachelor's degree in Environment and Development from McGill's School of Environment. 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 and Facilitators
Hey! I’m Kellee! I’m genderfluidflux, pan-romantic, and gray-ace!
I’m the coordinator for the Youth and Young Adult programs at the centre. My passion is in my planning, so I’m always trying to come up with new creative activities to do in our programs. A lot of my charm comes from my boisterous awkwardness, and I like to portray myself as a parental-like friend and confidante to anyone who may need it. My favourite part about working here is watching the youth participants learn who they are as young queer people, and never being afraid of trying something new within their identities. Outside of the Centre, you can find me window shopping(mostly) for home decor, trying to get my cats to nap with me, organizing anything, crafting, and going on photo nature walks. |
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! |
I’m Billie! I act as a bit of an all-rounder at the centre. You can find me cooking for the Youth Program, planning activities for the Adults and Seniors Program, making puns so bad they’ll take your breath away, and facilitating discussions with the Trans Support Group.
I have a bunch of nerdy interests so feel free to talk to me about movies, tv shows, board games, interesting facts about sharks, running, podcasts, or anything else you want to. In my spare time I can be found bothering my cats, struggling through obtaining a psychology degree, or picking apart horror movies on the internet. |

My name is Johanna and I am a parent of an out and very proud Queer individual. 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.

Hey im Queer… uh I mean Kara :)
I’m currently studying Social Service at Dawson College, passionate about social justice, mental health and harm reduction. I’m an intern at the center, working mostly with the youth/young-adult groups. I try to incorporate any and all forms of art in the work that I do, so please show me your wonderful pieces!! Outside of the center, you can find me rummaging through thrift bins finding cool graphic tees, any local punk show ever or at any random hardware/craft store gathering new material for my many DIY projects. |
Our Volunteers
My name is Sarah. I started coming to the centre just before I turned 17 and am 27 years old now. I identify as queer and nonbinary and very proud of it. 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 do drag, play D&D, LARP, play video games, read and discuss LGBTQ2+ issues with others.

Hi! I'm Matt, I've been volunteering at the centre since July 2018. I have a passion for graphic design, and I have a major 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 am a huge fan or D&D.

Hey! My name is Dome. I've studied many things in my 28 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.
