Mandate
sprOUT is all about connecting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning (LGBTQ) people labelled with intellectual disabilities across Ontario. We hold fun events such as dances, BBQs movie nights and parties. Our workshops on sexual health, self advocacy and how to create LGBT positive spaces are co-facilitated by LGBTQ people labelled with intellectual disabilities. We also offer consultation to individuals, their families and support workers.
 
Events
We held a free BBQ in Kitchener, Ontario. Many people attended this event to make new friends, enjoy a tasty meal, make art, play frisbee and just hang out. We hold free workshops that include learning how to make your own animated short videos. (They will be held at the National Film Board in downtown Toronto.) We will also hold a free workshop on video making and how to use the internet.
