Let's goooo 🔥🔥🔥 #ottawa #HoP #houseparty

Ottawa what is good? We are at Art House for a bit longer! Come on out!

Thanks to all the sponsors, supporters, and new friends that helped out last night at our #houseparty at art house. We are stoked to share we will be tabling in 1 week at the National Arts Centre at the #holiYAYcraftmarket from 11 am to 5 pm. Admission is free. #ottawa

Today is both Transgender Day of Remembrance (#TDoR2023) and #NationalChildDay. We lose too many trans kids to suicide, because we don’t give them the love and support they deserve. Today - and every day - let’s fight for a world where trans kids can survive and thrive.

It's not too late! We still would appreciate your help with this campaign! #ottawa #givingtuesday #twentyfortwenty
