Your voice matters even when you can’t speak for yourself.
Join us for a warm, community-focused workshop on Advance Care Planning (ACP) designed specifically with q***r and trans folks in mind.

✨ What’s ACP?
Advance Care Planning is the process of thinking ahead about the health and personal care decisions you’d want made if you’re ever unable to speak for yourself. It’s about autonomy, dignity, and ensuring your wishes are honoured.

✨ Why does it matter?
For q***r and trans people, choosing the right person to represent you is essential. ACP helps you:
✔️ Document your wishes
✔️ Identify who can make decisions for you
✔️ Talk with your doctor, loved ones, and chosen family
✔️ Ensure your future care reflects who you are

✨ What is Green Sleeves?
Think of them as your healthcare passport; a place to store your medical info and ACP documents so your wishes are clear in an emergency or during a health decline.

Come learn, ask questions, and take empowered steps toward protecting your future with community beside you. 💛

Join us after for our Trans Day of Remembrance service at 4pm

“It’s really hard to make decisions when you don’t know this information.” — Jennifer Gosselin, Registered Social Worker

Do you believe it's important to talk about your future care wishes? Most Canadians (93%) do!

So why is it that only 1 in 5 of us actually have a plan in place? There's a gap between our intentions and our actions, and we're here to help you bridge it.

Advance Care Planning goes beyond making healthcare decisions; it's about living well on your own terms. Make your wishes known and lighten the load for your loved ones.

We love hearing how the Last Aid course transforms perspectives! Here's what L. Khan shared about their experience:

“This course changed the way I understand dying—not as something to fear, but as a part of life we can approach with care, openness, and grace. I’m grateful for the space it created to reflect, ask questions, and connect with others on such a deep topic.” – L. Khan

This testimonial beautifully articulates the shift in understanding and the value of a supportive space. If you're looking to approach conversations about advance care planning and end-of-life with more care, openness, and grace, Last Aid offers invaluable insights.
