Two-Spirit and Indigiq***r folks, please join us for the first Indigiq***ries of 2026 ❄️⁠
⁠
Whether you've joined us before or are looking to try something new, Indigiq***ries is a place to connect, share and discuss topics related to Two-Spirit and Indigiq***r identities and beyond.⁠
⁠
Indigiqueries is our way of creating a standard practice of holding space for others with humility, patience and good humour. We strive to build community and inspire transformation with each unique café discussion. It is our mission to mitigate harm by creating a safer space in which all participants feel brave to take part in what are sometimes hard conversations by shedding light on complicated topics. Discussion topics have included coming out, urban displacement, family dynamics, s*xual health, and so much more.⁠
⁠
Anyone who identifies as Two-Spirit and/or Indigiq***r is welcome to attend. To maximize comfort for participants, this program is for Two-Spirit and q***r Indigenous people only.⁠
⁠
Registration is free, but please sign up so we know how much food to provide! Sign up at https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/indigiq***ries-a-two-spirit-cafe-series-tickets-631767552757?aff=oddtdtcreator.

The core of our programming is healthy bodies, healthy relationships and healthy communities. We believe everyone has the right to information that helps them make the best choices for themselves.

Natural supports like parents and caregivers can play a big role in supporting healthy relationships for their children. We are excited to be offering education for parents and caregivers of individuals with FASD on supporting healthy relationships.

Sessions will take place on Tuesday evenings from January 27 to March 17 at Calgary Fetal Alcohol Network in downtown Calgary.

Registration is free. Call: 1 866 601 3273 or email navigators@mycfan.ca to sign up.

Thanks to generous funding from RBC, we are looking to train 1,000 professionals in rural settings in Alberta, including folks in Indigenous- and newcomer-serving organizations!

If you are a professional in rural or remote settings in Alberta and are interested in creating more supportive and inclusive environments for staff or clients, we want to hear from you.

Visit https://www.centrefors*xuality.ca/training-centre for more information on the workshops we're offering and how you can take advantage of this opportunity.

In 2024, we marched in the Calgary Pride Parade declaring what we have known to be true for decades: s*x education saves lives.

From reducing rates of STIs and unplanned pregnancy to reducing the risk of dating and intimate partner violence, comprehensive s*x ed has a lasting impact on people of all ages and on the broader public health.

With recent provincial changes to how s*x ed is delivered in schools, we are working hard to diversify our offerings, incorporating community and online options to make sure youth don't miss out on information that is life-changing and potentially life-saving.

For over 50 years, we have provided factual, non-judgmental information to cut through the shame and stigma attached to s*xuality. We need your help to keep bringing this information to as many youth as possible.

Read our annual appeal and please consider donating if you can. Thank you for your support!
