Join us for January’s dinner & discussion night, where we will talk about what the start of a new year can mean for us.
 
What are the ways we mark time and moments? Why do certain markers have significance for us? What does setting yearly goals mean for some of us and why do we make them?
 
Come share with us in this discussion night, over some pizza and snacks!! :

This event will be taking place on the ancestral, unceded, and occupied territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh and Tsleil-Waututh nations.
 
Mpowerment is a queer-centered, trans-inclusive, and gender affirming space for young adults (19 - 29 years old) to meet, make friends, and talk about the highs and lows of sex, drugs, relationships and all the things that bring us pleasure. We work to create safer spaces for all young people including those of us living with HIV.
