The Positive Space Committee aims to foster a sense of community at the University of Toronto and create a safer environment for LGBTQ+ students, staff, faculty, and librarians. It is our responsibility to identify particular areas of concern and develop strategies to address them. At Positive Space, we acknowledge that anti-discrimination policies are not enough, and that we must go above and beyond to actively include and celebrate LGBTQ+ people on campus.

UTM’s Positive Space Campaign engages in tri-campus initiatives whenever possible and works in conjunction with university equity policies and offices.

Membership of the committee is open to all members of the University – students, staff, faculty, and librarians. Allies are encouraged to attend these meetings and participate in the campaign.
