Guelph Pride organizes a Pride festival twice a year for the Guelph community. Our aim is to bring together LGBTQIA+ and 2S communities in Guelph and the surround cities. We also work to address issues surrounding the queer community in a safe, educational manner. We’re a program of the OOTS (Out On The Shelf) Library

A queer student-run special status group on campus. We’re like a club but with a dry erase wall, a budget line for condoms, and “Trans Babe” buttons. We have a library, free safe-sex supplies, free menstrual products, and more in our office in UC 270.
Our office is open under limited hours with additional safety measures in place. We welcome folks who want a place to sit, study, nap, or chat. Come make some buttons or draw on our dry-erase wall any time the door is open.
