2SGBQ+ Men’s Community Engagement
We know that Two Spirit, Gay, Bisexual, and Queer (2SGBQ+) men, including cis, trans, and other gender diverse folks have unique needs and experiences when it comes to their health. We also know that the community does not always have the spaces and places to connect with each other to build knowledge and skills.
Centre for Sexuality is excited to offer a variety of programming for 2SGBQ+ guys to address some of these needs and create opportunities for connection and learning in Calgary and area. For up to date event listings, please visit our Events Calendar or check out our social media for further details!
Join the Community Advisory Board!
To help guide the Centre for Sexuality’s work in this area, we have convened a Community Advisory Board (CAB) composed of 12 members of the 2SGBQ+ community, representing a diversity of backgrounds, experiences and identities. This includes two Co-Chair positions and ten Members at Large.
We are now accepting applications to join the CAB for 2024-25! We have multiple positions available, including one Co-Chair position, and multiple Members at Large.
What Does the CAB Do?
CAB members regularly provide insight into the needs of 2SGBQ+ guys in the community, review and plan proposed activities, and lead the development of initiatives. The CAB will meets at least four times per year at the Centre for Sexuality and/or on Zoom to accommodate all participants.
The CAB works with Centre’s Gay Men’s Health Specialist, who will serve as a member of the CAB and provide strategic direction alongside the two Co-Chairs. The Gay Men’s Health Specialist is the staff lead on this project and is be responsible for putting input and insight from the CAB into action.

Why Join?
