A questionnaire on the community service needs of LGBTQ+ seniors
Interligne wants to reach more LGBTQ+ seniors and offer programs that truly reflect their realities and needs.
In this questionnaire, LGBTQ+ seniors in Quebec are invited to express themselves about their experiences of participation and social involvement, and the services they feel are lacking or insufficient in their region.

Intergenerational correspondence
Trait d’union: LGBTQ+ intergenerational correspondence is a project that invites young and older LGBTQ+ people in Quebec to engage in an exchange of handwritten letters. By fostering mutual understanding between two generations, the project aims to help break the cycle of social isolation.

To perpetuate many of the letters exchanged in the first year of the Trait d’union program, a collection of the same name was published in 2022.
Download the digital collection free of charge or order the print version for $25 from our online store.
