    International Day of Pink ~ Martin Boyce’s Courage to Stand Up Tour

    Featured
    Fairlawn Avenue United Church 28 Fairlawn Avenue, Toronto, Toronto, Canada

    Fairlawn’s Affirm Ministry, in partnership with International Day of Pink, will be hosting Martin Boyce’s cross-Canada Courage to Stand Up tour on Sunday, April 16 at 1:30pm, his only public event in the GTA. We’ll have more information in the coming weeks about registering for the event that is being held in the sanctuary. Boyce was a participant in 1969’s Stonewall (or, Stonewall Riots, Stonewall Uprising) in New York City, a pivotal moment in queer/trans history. He remains an activist to this day. The tour is being funded by the U.S. Embassy. Boyce will be interviewed by Michael Coren, Anglican priest, columnist and former broadcaster. Save the date!

    Transgender Day of Remembrance

    Featured

    The Transgender Day of Remembrance, November 20, was set aside to recognize those who have been killed due to ignorance and hatred, targeted because they were trans or gender non-conforming. The first event took place in 1999 in San Francisco to honour Rita Hester, who had been brutally murdered the previous year.

    Worship Services at Fairlawn Avenue United are on Sunday mornings at 10:30am in our sanctuary, with Minister the Rev. Dr. Cameron Watts; Associate Minister Rev.

RCP offers a weekly queer drop-in program for both seniors and youth at Birchcliff Bluffs United Church in Scarborough. The programs are a lifeline for 2SLGBTQIA+ people in precarious situations, including newcomers, refugees, and others seeking community. There will also be music to celebrate our life together as an Affirming congregation and Coffee Hour after the service. We look forward to welcoming you to Fairlawn on June 2 for our annual Pride service
