The Community Advisory Table (CAT) is a group of trans and gender diverse community members living in the Champlain (Ottawa and the surrounding areas) who support and guide the work of the RPT and take on their own initiatives to improve trans health in the region.
The CAT is proud to present this free, virtual panel event series discussing issues in trans health services across the Champlain region (Ottawa and the surrounding areas). Panels will be hosted from December 2022 – March 2023 and span a range of trans health topics to engage both service providers and community members.
These panel events will be an opportunity for service providers and community members to come together and discuss key issues in the availability of, access to, and navigation across trans health, social, and community services.
The events will be held as webinars over Zoom. Participants will have the opportunity to submit questions through the Q&A function during the webinars. Closed captioning will be provided.
