What is the Bill 7 Award?

The Bill 7 Award is a charitable trust that awards scholarships to gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, queer and two-spirited students that are residents in Ontario.

The Bill 7 Award scholarship is named after the 1986 legislation that extended the protection of the Ontario Human Rights Code to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

Summer is here!

Hello #trentqueers! This rather boring post begins the begining of the TQC’s summer program call out. 

Basically, we’ve had enough of same-old-same-old, and want to engage with out stake-holders to synergize new stragtegies to optimize user experience. 

And I’m not a marketing major or anything!

What that mess up there means is that send the TQC a message if you want to collaborate on a fun summer activity, or if you want to meet up. 

The TQC wants to hear from you, whether you’re a new student, an alumni, or you juuuust so happen to live here.
