As a hub and meeting ground, we aim to be a safe space for our community. Like many others in our community, Canada and around the world, we are outraged by the senseless tragedies that have been occurring against Black, Indigenous and People of Colour at an alarming rate.
We will also be taking this time to reconcile with our privilege and learn how we can better support our community now and moving forward. We have shared a blog post of resources in Toronto if you are looking to educate yourself or donate. If you have additional resources that you would like us to include, please share.
