Positive Space:

The 2SLGBTQIA+ community is a diverse group of individuals with one thing in common - they are members of the Queer and Trans* Community. The Positive Space Program celebrates queer and trans individuality, and recognizes the responsibility of our community to work towards being a safe and accepting environment for persons of all gender identities and sexual orientations. More than ensuring a safe and equitable university, this program hopes to see the creation of a genuinely inclusive community. The goal of this program is to reduce the climate of disapproval and fear of same-sex attraction and the ostracism of variable gender expression, as well as to draw attention to the oppressive systems of hetero- and cisnormativity.

Contact the Gender and Sexual Diversity Student Advisor at the email listed at the bottom of this page for more information.

 

 

X-Pride Student Society:

The X-Pride Student Society is comprised of an executive team of student volunteers who work together to create student-led programming and initiatives as well as draw attention to and mobilize against issues of social justice at St. FX. These programs and initiatives serve to: recognize the diversity, strength, and resilience inherent to the 2SLGBTQIA+ community; provide opportunities for students to engage in activities that are not geared towards the majority groups on campus; and develop tools to engage in activism and advocacy on campus and within the wider community.

The X-Pride office is located on the second floor of the SUB (room 215), right across from the Golden X Inn. Check out the door to the Space for this year's Exec's office hours, and stop by to chat and check out the resources available! Visit and join the X-Pride Facebook page or Instagram to learn more about the society and upcoming events.
