We have a couple events coming up in August-- open to anyone who is under the aro and/or ace umbrella(s) or questioning whether they might be (whether or not you've come to any previous Toronto Aces & Aros events)

2) A general planning/organising meeting & social -- ASL in progress

This is the space for you if you'd like to learn more about what goes on "behind the scenes" and get more involved to:

 

• plan & host regular activities or special events

• share your thoughts/feedback/input for future activities & events

• facilitate workshop or other educational activities

• develop educational materials, etc.

 

Even if you're just interested in knowing what's been going on, please join us! (open to everyone under the aromantic/aro umbrella and/or asexual/ace umbrella and people questioning whether they might be one or both-- people don't have to have attended any previous events to attend!)
