Canvas Programs

Canvas Programs is a registered charity founded in 2014 providing empathy-based education on consent and 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusion. Our arts-inspired education works to challenge sexual violence, homophobia and transphobia. We envision a society in which all people are free to live as their authentic selves and have the tools to form safe and caring relationships. Based in Toronto, Canada, Canvas provides life-changing education on consent and 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusion. Canvas has built an amazing team of artists and educators that workshops for over 10,000 youth, teachers, and caregivers each year, in schools, camps and community spaces. Our programs create spaces where all people are free to live authentically and have the tools to create safe and caring relationships. Proactive, empathy-based education is key to combatting and ultimately ending homophobia, transphobia, and sexual violence. With the increase of homophobia and transphobia across Canada, more organizations and schools are reaching out to create safer spaces. With your help, we will increase our capacity and make our essential education accessible to everyone.
