Introduction

This guide is a collection of free or low-cost community resources at Vancouver Community College and in the Greater Vancouver area that may be useful to 2SLGBTQIA+ students at VCC.

This guide was created as a support for students during a 2024 collaborative study on the experiences of 2SLGBTQIA+ students at Kwantlen Polytechnic University and VCC, as well as other teaching institutions in the lower mainland. It was then updated in 2025 to more specifically focus for VCC students, and is currently maintained by the VCC Pride Collective.

If you have any questions or content update requests, please reach out to the VCC Pride Collective at pridecollective@vcc.ca

Rainbow mural at VCC Downtown campus. Reads: The rainbow flag is a beacon of the Pride movement, which advances justice and equality for Two Spirit, queer, and transgender people. The black and brown colours represent that this movement must be rooted in decolonization and racial justice. All of our struggles for liberation are connected. We all belong here.

“We respect and celebrate our differences, and are committed to the
work of Decolonization, accessibility, and inclusivity for all.” – VCC
