Out on the Shelf Inc.

During this fiscal period we continued our library operations our two Guelph Pride Festivals (February 2024 and June 2024) and our ongoing social programs including: virtual gaymes night in-person gaymes night and our monthly crafting night. During this fiscal period we received new funding from Women and Gender Equality (WAGE) with the federal government of Canada for a project titled Transcendence Guelph-Wellington: 2SLGBTQIA+ Education and Empowerment Training and Resources or The Transcendence Project for short. This project is focused on developing and test piloting educational workshops and resources for service providers within the region and queer community members. These resources are focused on making services more accessible for queer people and improving queer people's self-advocacy and support skills. In addition we are developing resources that outline services and events for queer people in the area and resources outlining the queer history of the Guelph-Wellington region.
