Little Boxes: video story about being transgendered in a society that forces people to choose.  A good story for gender identity and gender expression.

 Thank you to Sydnee and Eva for having the courage to start our school's GSA.  It is the first of its kind in elementary schools in Regina Public.

Below is our panel of speakers for our Awareness Day. Thank you to Mike White and Carla Blakely for sharing their personal stories and words of hope to our grade 6-8s.  We also really appreciated hearing about Camp Fyrefly.

Try hosting a "don't say gay day" or having students sign a petition to stop using the word gay in a negative connotation. A visual representation in the school would be a great way to show the decrease in usage.

Welcome!

I am thrilled to be starting a blog to support Elementary Schools interested in establishing a Gay Straight Alliance at their school.  You will find stories, support materials, links and activity ideas on this page.
