Transgender Day of Remembrance - November 20, 2011


Join the Federal Call to Action – Trans Rights Now!

Recently, Member of Parliament (MP) Randall Garrison (LGBTT critic for the NDP) reintroduced into Parliament a Bill to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act (CHRA) and the Criminal Code of Canada to include gender identity and gender expression as prohibited grounds for discrimination.

This Bill – Bill C-279 – had a previous manifestation, Bill C-389, which made it through Parliament, but died at the Senate when the government was dissolved in March 2011. Now, thanks to the re-introduction by MP Garrison, we have another chance to make these human rights protections a reality.

Find out how you can do your part to pass Bill C-279 here: http://queerontario.org/
