To recognize and honour
#pridemonth
, Haven is making donations to support two local organizations and the important work they do to provide education, resources and support for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth and adults - Le Gris based in Montreal and The 519 based in Toronto.
Haven is also matching all donations made by our team to organizations of their choice, a program we offer our employees throughout the year. Let's continue to help create inclusive, safe and kind spaces where everyone belongs.
We support the rights and safety of trans people, and oppose any attempts to unfairly limit the freedom of expression of 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals, including drag show bans.
Les lumières du circuit s'éteignent et c'est parti ! Un groupe de Haveneers a affronté la piste la semaine dernière, et ils étaient RAPIDES. Certains se sont même qualifiés pour le championnat du circuit!
Nous soutenons les droits et la sécurité des personnes transgenres et nous nous opposons aux tentatives visant à limiter injustement la liberté d'expression des personnes 2SLGBTQIA+, y compris l'interdiction des spectacles de drag.
Our CTO and co-founder Leon O'Reilly summarized his thoughts from the
