✨ What an unforgettable night at the Black & White Gala! ✨

We were thrilled to come together in celebration, community, and joy as we honor someone whose impact continues to shape the future of 2SLGBTQIA+ lives across Toronto and beyond.

This year, we proudly presented the Community One S&F Award to Dr. Percy Lezard, a 2 Spirit Sy’ilx scholar, educator, mentor, and community advocate. Their leadership and vision have created lasting, positive change.

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Lezard on this well-deserved recognition, and in celebrating the brilliance, resilience, and love that fuel our communities every day.
