Join two of Canada's leading trans activists for a no-questions-off-limits Q&A on all trans topics.
You probably have a lot of unanswered questions about trans people and issues.. Maybe you’re worried about what’s being taught in the classroom, or about what healthcare services are being offered to trans youth. You’ve heard terms like “parental rights” thrown around. You haven’t felt able to ask your questions and get answers that make sense to you.
We get it, we understand. But what’s the other side of the story?
Through conversation we can find common ground - we have more in common than we think. Let’s remove the politics and hot takes and connect as people.
We want to hear your worries and share our side of the story. That’s why Fae Johnstone and Victoria Bucholtz, two of Canada's most prominent trans activists, are coming to town to answer all your gender questions.
This is your chance to get your questions answered - yes, even the tough ones. No judgement, no name calling. Instead, we’ll give you our honest takes — and we think they'll win you over.
Join us for an event filled with candid conversation. Hear from Victoria and Fae as they make the case for trans rights, and then dive into an interactive Question and Answer period where nothing* is off limits.
*Okay, there are exceptions - threats and personal attacks aren’t welcome.
This event is brought to you by Queer Momentum, TransAction Alberta and Fierte Canada Pride, alongside Pride Winnipeg , Trans Manitoba, and the Rainbow Resource Centre.

Join us for a Queer Movement Townhall - a gathering of queer activists and allies coming together to rekindle hope and rebuild the movement.
2SLGBTQIA+ rights are under attack and we need to take action. Freedom, human rights, and democracy itself are at stake. To respond to these crises, we need to engage all parts of the queer movement - one community and one conversation, at a time.
That’s why we are bringing the movement together through townhall events across Canada - including one right here in Winnipeg. This gathering is a wake up call, a rallying point. We’re going to bring joy back to the queer movement — with love, humour, rage and defiance too.
But we can’t do it alone, or in isolation. We need to connect local struggles back into a national movement, to empower grassroots activists and build plans to uphold our rights and reject attacks on our community.
Join two of Canada’s leading trans activists (and trouble-makers) Fae Johnstone (Executive Director of Queer Momentum and movement veteran) and Victoria Bucholtz (Executive Director of TransAction Alberta, drag queen, comic, and professor) alongside local movement leaders you know and love for an afternoon of fiery speeches, discussion, queer joy, and advocacy planning.
What’s the agenda?
A Welcome by Fae, Victoria and local partners
A panel discussion featuring local movement leaders sharing their advice and hot takes on building queer power
Breakout discussions to build relationships, identify issues, explore solutions and plan next steps
Movement Mapping to build a nation-wide Grassroots Queer Mobilizer Library, filled with strategies and tools built from community-led experience
We’re not sitting by while freedom, acceptance and democracy die around us. We’re not tapping out when rights are under threat. We’re going to organize, educate, advocate and celebrate our way towards a better future — and you can too.
This event is brought to you by Queer Momentum, TransAction Alberta and Fierte Canada Pride, alongside Pride Winnipeg , Trans Manitoba, and the Rainbow Resource Centre.

Parade: Queer Acts of Love & Resistance
En marche : l’amour et la résistance queers
Director: Noam Gonick | Producer: Justine Pimlott
2025 | 96 min
Documentary
English and French with English subtitles

Parade: Queer Acts of Love & Resistance captures pivotal moments that sparked Canada’s 2SLGBTQI+ movement, honouring the activists and elders whose resistance led to the rights we have today.

Through rarely seen archival footage and first-person accounts, audiences are brought to the frontlines of the struggle. From police raids to early drag shows, community organizing to the House of Commons—the complex history of the country’s diverse communities is brought to life. Key milestones illustrate the power of taking it into the streets and underscore how easily the rights we’ve fought for can be revoked, making the documentary essential viewing for all Canadians.
Unflinching, bold, enraging, hopeful; Parade is a vital new chapter in the queer canon.

The film is provided courtesy of the National Film Board of Canada.

Event is hosted by City of Winnipeg’s Equity and Diversity Subcommittee of the Human Rights Committee of Council in partnership with Rainbow Resource Centre."
