Creating Compassion
About Our Work
-
Canvas School Programs provides empathy-based and trauma-informed education for students and educators. Through engaging workshops on inclusion, consent, and allyship, participants develop practical skills to build safer, more compassionate, and inclusive school communities.
-
Canvas Workshops for Non-Profits help teams better serve their communities. Designed for organization leaders, our trainings teach to identify barriers, strengthen inclusion, and create safer spaces. Teams leave with strategies to turn belonging into everyday practice.
-
Canvas Community Programs brings people together through arts and shared experiences. In partnership with local organizations, we create spaces where participants can explore identity and self-advocacy. From activism to relationship education, our programs help communities grow.
-
Canvas Workplace Inclusion is a social enterprise fostering cultures of belonging in the workplace. Our expert facilitators will guide professionals through workplace centered trainings on topics including unconscious bias, 2SLGBTQIA+ workplace inclusion and gender equity.
The Importance of Education
With an alarming increase in homophobia and transphobia in Canada, our work has become even more necessary.
We are committed to creating inclusion through education, being role models for the youth we work with, and using our voices to inspire change.
