Hot drinks afterwards
Trans and queer folks, and their allies are welcome to mark Transgender Day of Remembrance in Mississauga on November 20, 2010.
The Transgender Day of Remembrance was set aside to memorialize those who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. The event is held in November to honour Rita Hester, whose murder on November 29, 1998, kicked off the "Remembering Our Dead" web project and a San Francisco candlelight vigil in 1999. Rita's murder - like most transgender murder cases - has yet to be solved.
Join community members and service providers, hear from speakers, participate in the candlelight vigil, take a moment of silence, remember those who have been hurt or killed by transphobic violence.
