The University of Winnipeg is committed to being an inclusive and welcoming space for all 2SLGBTQ+ students, staff, faculty, and community members. We are committed to gender inclusivity, countering homophobia and transphobia, decolonizing gender and sexuality, and building community by, with, and for UWinnipeg members with diverse gender identities, gender expressions, and sexualities.
Access information here about opportunities to connect, resources, services, and learning opportunities for 2SLGBTQ+ faculty, staff, and students, and their allies.
This resource guide was developed specifically for trans and gender diverse students at The University of Winnipeg. It provides information and resources for navigating aspects of UWinnipeg’s systems and campuses, as well as links to services and supports outside of UWinnipeg that are relevant for trans and gender diverse students. This guide may also serve as a resource for those supporting trans and gender diverse students.
This guide will continue to be updated to reflect accurate information on our programs, facilities, systems, and services and how they help to meet the needs and priorities of trans and gender diverse students.
