Through Our Pages: Reflections on Trans Day of Remembrance and Resilience

Join UTSC EDIO, the UTSC Positive Space Committee and SC:OUT in honouring Trans Day of Remembrance and Resilience at this interactive art-based event to foster connection, reflection, and crafting in an inclusive space.

Date: Thursday, November 20, 2025
Time: TBD
Location: AC321 (third floor, Academic Resource Centre, UofT Scarborough)
Who: Everyone who is respectful of the intent of this inclusive and welcoming space is invited to attend.

Light refreshments will be served.

We welcome, in particular, those who identify as members of the Trans community—including, but not limited to, trans, two-spirit, nonbinary, genderqueer, gender non-conforming, gender fluid, agender, and more. This is an opportunity for members of the trans community to connect and build relationships, alongside allies. That being said, you will not be required or expected to disclose your identity, unless you wish to share.

About Trans Day of Remembrance and Resilience

Trans Day of Remembrance and Resilience (TDORR) began as a vigil honouring the life of Rita Hester, a Black trans woman brutally murdered in 1998. It quickly evolved into a day to remember and honour all individuals lost to transphobic violence. TDORR is now recognized in countries around the world and is preceded by Trans Awareness Week, which aims to raise visibility of trans people, address issues members of the community face, and recognize the achievements of trans individuals locally and globally.
