GREETINGS EVERYONE!
Let me update you on the great work many people are doing to help LGBT Refugees in Toronto!

First off more people are getting involved in our growing list of cool projects that focus on helping LGBT Refugees and Newcomers to Toronto. Go to this link to learn details: http://www.tigblog.org/group/GLBT from there you will see Web links to projects and groups that might interest you!

We are using a technology platform that makes it easy to show the many interesting projects being developed to help LBGT Refugees and Newcomers in Toronto.

The on-line technology platform we are using to ‘showcase’ our projects and groups is called TakingItGlobal (TIG). More information about TIG here http://dantrepanier.tigblog.org/post/34746

I have a BLOG (A BLOG is a web log where you can post your writing – it’s like a web journal)
Anyone can create a BLOG on TIG (Called TIGBlogs). The goal is to provide you with information on people, inspiring stories, interesting articles and featured community groups; related to LGBT Refugees and Newcomers

Go to http://dantrepanier.tigblog.org . About three times a week I try and post an interesting resource or article. Your emails inspire me to pick topics and information that might help YOU!

More about on-line groups;
If you have not already done so, I encourage you to subscribe to this on-line group at http://groups.takingitglobal.org/LGBTissues The benefits are that you get to be part of an online community and keep in touch with others interested in looking at issues for LGBT Refugees and Newcomers in Toronto, or wanting to visit Toronto.

If you join this online group the technology can keep you email address private but folks may be able to see your name here Go to http://groups.takingitglobal.org/LGBTissues/members so if you don’t want your name revealed don’t join the on-line group (or use an alias)

It is always important to PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY.
Right now the people who attend the The MCC –Toronto, Canada; Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Transgendered (LGBT) Refugee Peer & Mentoring Support Meetings are on a PRIVATE email list and not listed on the web through TIG.

MORE SUCCESS!
