Bi+ Planning Meetings
As a grass-roots community group, Toronto Bi+ Network relies on volunteers year-round to ensure bi+ visibility, outreach, education and resources, a strong Pride presence, as well as educational and social events.
TBN’s Bi+ Pride Planning Committee meets once a month, usually between 7:30 and 9:30 pm. We're always looking for more volunteers to help out - many hands make light the work - so be in touch if you're interested!
Email info@torontobinet.org for more information.
