April 2020 Spruce Grove GSA Update! 
(Again!!!)
 
The Spruce Grove GSA Society respectfully acknowledges that we are situated in Treaty 6 territory, traditional lands of First Nations and Métis people. 
 
After reaching out to everyone and asking about an online GSA, I have started putting together a few resources. 
Our GSA is unfortunately too small to maintain an online chat group, but there are a few very wonderful folks who have taken on the challenge of organizing and hosting this!!
The internet and social media are essential for connecting individuals to information and people. It is extremely important to keep these connections!
As with any online group, please be mindful of your safety and your online security with any information you give. 
  
All of our information is posted on our Instagram www.instagram.com/sprucegrovegsa/?hl=en  and Facebookwww.facebook.com/sprucegrovegsa/ pages. 
These Chat Groups will be found on our Spruce Grove GSA website under our new section

Our Community – Help our GSA grow together!
Please help us continue to grow!
 Even though we are temporarily closed, we are still paying our insurance. We are still doing research and helping folks online. We are still reaching out to youth and adults in our community. Please help to stay open and continue to grow by saving your bottles or by making a donation online. We will re-open, and we will continue to be a Safe Space where our youth can feel included, respected, and protected.
 
Are you able to help set up a fundraising committee?
How can you contribute?
Our community is filled with folks with amazing people that care about youth and their surroundings. Our GSA is a Community GSA, help us grow together! 
 
Some of the ways you can fabulous:
 
Please Help.

Contributions of any size will be used to support youth through the purchase of materials that will be used at our meetings, as well as to fund excursions to special events within the community. They will also support the GSA as a whole by helping us with operational expenses. 
We are a 100% volunteer-run organization; all funds will go to ensuring we can continue to offer services to youth.
