November 20th is Trans Day of Remembrance, a time for honoring our Trans siblings taken too soon and holding grief in community. Each year we (St. Andrews-Wesley United Church) host a vigil to provide a safe space for our 2SLGBTQIA+ community to gather together and through ritual and ceremony honour their loved ones.
We would like to invite you to join us for this contemplative service for Trans Day of Remembrance. This evening will feature music from the Quayside Voices and a reflection from Rev. Lauren Kirkey, co- founder of the Saige Foodbank for the Two-Spirit, Trans and Gender diverse community. The vigil commemorates all transgender people lost to violence and lifts up those who are continuing to work for trans rights.
