Read trans voices for the Trans Day of Remembrance
Trans Day of Remembrance (TDOR) is observed annually on November 20 to commemorate trans, Two-Spirit, non-binary, and gender-diverse peoples that have lost their lives to transphobia. In Canada, up to a third of gender-diverse people report facing violence and/or harassment in the past year, with transfeminine and Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC) gender-diverse people facing even higher rates of violence and injustice. These recommendations reflect on the violence, harassment, and transphobia faced by gender-diverse people and celebrate their history, resilience, and ingenuity.
Celebrate Louis Riel Day
We mark Louis Riel Day annually on November 16 across the Métis homelands. This date marks the anniversary of Riel’s execution in 1885 for leading the Northwest Resistance. Riel led the rebellion as federal authorities contested Métis nationhood. This day has since served as a time to commemorate the struggle for Métis rights and celebrate Métis culture and resilience.
