Guest Speaker Fawkes Conibear - March 24

On March 24, we will have the opportunity to hear Fawkes Conibear tell his story. Hear is a brief introduction to Fawkes.

Fawkes Conibear is a 28 year old trans man who enjoys cycling and board games. He currently lives in Montreal with his wife Colleen and their hamster Timbit. In the fall, he will be returning to school at the University of Guelph to persue an undergraduate degree in geography with the intention of becoming a rural planner. He wants to help communities address the accessibility needs of all of their citizens while focusing on eco-concious design.

If you would like to read a bit about transgender ahead of the presentation, we have some resources on this blog.


After the service, Fawkes will be available for a discussion in the Fireside Room. Please come and chat with him.
