We’ll be celebrating OK2BME’s 20th anniversary all year long. Keep up with events, stories, and more by following @caminowellbeing and @ok2bmeca on social media!
The program is rooted in the belief that every person deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported. Through OK2BME, queer and trans individuals and their families can find a place where they belong, knowing they are celebrated just as they are.
Twenty years later, the need has evolved, and this work is still vital. OK2BME has grown from counselling support and one small youth group to a multi-dimensional program of support and connection.

Learn More About All Our 2SLGBTQIA+ SupportsOK2BME’s message has always been clear: It’s okay to be yourself!
Weekly youth groups, counselling services, and keystone events such as Pride Prom and the GSA (Gender and Sexuality Alliance) Conference continue to positively impact hundreds of people in this community. Thank you to community connections who help these events be the joyful, affirming spaces that they are!
Throughout the years, workshops and educational initiatives have focused on strengthening the community’s ability to support and nurture 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals, including youth and their families.
Twenty years ago, the community saw a need and we stepped forward. We are just as committed now as we were then to working toward a world where everyone is not only safe to be themselves, but is celebrated!
