Rainbow Newcomers Connect is a social gathering hosted by SPECTRUM on the 2nd Sunday afternoon (4-6pm) of the month. The main purpose of these social gatherings is for us to learn from each other as a diverse community. We are not only 2SLGBTQ+ people but we also come from a variety of cultural backgrounds.
We have activities and discussions that allow us to get to know one another, learn from each another and share about our experiences. It is our hope that this time will not only be educational, but that it will also build friendships and connections within the community.
If you haven't been to Spectrum before, this video will help you find us.
SPECTRUM is occasionally able to provide a letter of support for refugees applying for landed immigrant status on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. In order to be considered for a letter of support, you need to have at least attended several SPECTRUM events or group meetings. The facilitators of our Rainbow Newcomers Connect group will need to get to know you before they can provide a letter. This means that you will need to begin getting involved with SPECTRUM several months before you might need a letter of support.
