PFLAG - Greater Victoria Chapter

PFLAG meets at St. John's third Sunday of each month at 2:00 PM.

PFLAG ( Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) has been meeting in St. John's Lounge since March 1994. We are still deeply grateful for the warmth of your facility and its ability to enhance our main "work" which is to give support, particularly to those who have just learned that a loved one is gay. We listen attentively to all who wish to share their story. It is a simple act, but brings a rich reward as we become a “family”.

In our role as educators, our Speakers Bureau makes presentations to Grade 10 CAPP classes (Career and Personal Planning), at the request of the school. One of the Bureau co-ordinators who lives at Mill Bay has expanded that program as far as Nanaimo. Our library contains books and videos of interest to parents and to those who are anxiously anticipating “coming out” to their parents. You may see our brochures in your library or doctor's office.

As an advocate for equality, PFLAG is a member of BCCLA (BC Civil Liberties Association), EGALE (Equality for Gays and Lesbians Everywhere) and GALE BC (Gay and Lesbian Educators). Our goal is to help create a society that is respectful of human diversity.
