What's On Queer BC

{LAST UPDATED JAN 2024} This is a list of resources for people who need help or who are wanting to offer help. The page was originally put together during the Covid 19 pandemic. A lot has changed since thing, but many people still need help and many resources are still out there. We are keeping an eye on things but there will be items here that are no longer relevant. Let us know if some resources have been discontinued. Send us links or broken link bug reports. whatsonqueerbc@gmail.com

Information about support, restrictions, travel and health can be found on the BC Government’s page.

FOOD & DELIVERY

With COVID measures being slowly relaxed, many volunteers are returning to work. Most services below endeavor to continue as long as they can but if you find one that no longer is able to help you please let us know at whatsonqueerbc@gmail.com and we’ll remove it from this list. A sincere thank you to all the amazing volunteers who helped so many through this difficult time.
