Our work can only be done with community, in community. This is the commitment of our Army of Lovers: to continue taking action, to continue coming out stronger.
It’s been quite the year. Beginning with a new COVID-19 strain, that was followed shortly by the emergence of MPox, our communities continued to face public health emergencies.
We saw horrific attacks on 2 Spirit, queer, and trans lives and the spaces we hold dear. Rising cost of living put incredible strain on the finances of so many. And after two years of COVID-19 restrictions, the importance of spaces for community to come together has never been more clear.
We meet these challenges head-on, prioritizing the health and well-being of our communities. Thousands of Covid-19 and Mpox vaccines administered. Over 200 thousand healthy meals distributed to residents. The opening of Toronto’s first 2SLGBTQ+ adult shelter. The return of many community-led groups and our Green Space Festival.
All of this wouldn’t be possible without your continued support, for which we’re truly grateful. We look forward to having you walk alongside us in 2023, helping us build a world where no one is left behind.
