As we look for ways to be more accessible, and recognizing the incredible volunteer workload that goes into hosting us each year, we’ve made the decision to offer our 2024 AGM and Annual Conference in a virtual format. Don’t worry, this isn’t the end of in-person events, but an opportunity for us to consider how best to use the resources we’ve been blessed with.

We hope to see you online this July!

Trans Youth Deserve Safety –

Affirm United would like to express our continued support for transgender and gender-diverse youth. Youth across the country must be supported to live as their authentic selves.

These newly introduced policies in provincial jurisdictions are not based on evidence and will cause irreparable harm to trans and gender diverse youth. To base proposed policies in misinformation and discrimination is irresponsible.

AUSE stands firm in support of 2SLGBTQ+ youth, and against any form of discrimination or intimidation that puts the lives of 2SLGBTQ+ youth at risk.

To the trans youth witnessing this hatred, know that we see you and honour you, just as you are. Even if your government tells you otherwise, you deserve to live a life of authenticity and joy. We see you and we love you.

PIE Day 2024 is fast approaching!

The theme for 2024 is: PIE in the Public Square. Why PIE? PIE = Public. Intentional. Explicit. Those are the standards we hold ourselves and our welcome to when we seek to live into being Affirming, Welcoming, or Inclusive people and communities.

Check out our pieday.ca website and our google folder for planning ideas, how-to’s, graphics, videos, worship service templates, and more!

Panel: Living out PIE in the Public Square

Thursday, February 15

4pm PST / 5pm MST / 7pm EST

We’re inviting three dynamic faith leaders to reflect on what the 2024 PIE Day theme means to them!
