About us
In 2018, the Spruce Grove GSA began as a drop-in group for 2SLGBTQ+ youth as well as their allies, friends, and family. We hang out, eat snacks, listen to loud music, have questions discussed, make new friends, and have fun! This is a relaxed atmosphere where youth are able to be themselves with friends. As part of our goal of empowering youth, the GSAs youth are encouraged to run meetings, although adults are on site at all times to provide support.
In 2021, we have expanded our group to include an adult group, in order to continue to bring positive change to our community!! Welcome to SAFE - Support & Advocacy for Everyone! This is an adult group for 2SLGBTQ+ folk, parents and caregivers of our 2SLGBTQ+ youth, as well as educators, professionals, and anyone who would like to participate!
We are committed to ensuring youth and adults have a safe and diverse environment to feel included, respected, and protected.
Truth and Reconciliation
Take a moment to reflect and acknowledge our past, present, and our promises as we stand on Turtle Island.
Please recognize and respect Indigenous Peoples’ beliefs when it comes to their kinship with the land. Land travelled and cared for by Indigenous peoples.
Especially since those beliefs have been restricted and denied for so long.
The Spruce Grove GSA Society respectfully thanks and acknowledges that we are situated on the Indigenous land of Treaty 6 territory. The traditional lands of Cree, Michif Piyii (Métis), ᓀᐦᐃᔭᐤ ᐊᐢᑭᕀ Nêhiyaw-Askiy (Plains Cree), Denesuliné (Chipewyan), Saulteaux (Ojibwa/Anishinaabe), Nakota Sioux (Stoney/Assiniboine).
We also wish to acknowledge all First Nations, Métis, and Inuit persons that reside away from their traditional communities, but who still live across Alberta.
We honour and respect the histories and cultures of the First Peoples of this land and for the many contributions First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples’ have made to the province of Alberta. We are grateful for the means to learn from all the traditional peoples of these lands as we move forward together in reconciliation.
