About us
PEI Transgender Network was created in 2017 in response to the gaps in supports and resources available to the Two-Spirit, transgender, gender diverse, non-binary + (2S/TGDNB+) community and their families.
We are proud to have assisted the development of the Gender Diversity Guidelines implemented in all Public Schools across PEI, as well as the establishment of PEI's first Gender Affirming Care Clinic. We remain active in our advocacy and engagement with systems of influence such as: healthcare, education, government, and more!
We are a grassroots, non-profit organization that officially incorporated in 2021 in order to access funding to carry out the life saving and community enhancing work we do. We are committed to growth, while maintaining a trans-led organization; we uphold the common, yet crucial, sentiment of "nothing for us without us!"
Our Mission
Our mission is to improve the experiences of 2S/TGDNB+ people on Epekwitk [so called PEI] through providing supports and resources to the community, our families and friends, as well as professionals and the public.
Our vision is an inclusive Epekwitk where people of all gender identities can live and thrive.
