Niagara College will mark Transgender Awareness Week from Nov. 13 to 19, raising awareness of transgender and gender-diverse people, highlighting the challenges they face and promoting understanding, inclusion and advocacy against discrimination and violence.<\/p>\n

To recognize the week, NC’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) team is hosting events and sharing resources to help students and employees learn, connect with community organizations and strengthen support for trans and gender-diverse members of the College community.<\/p>\n

Supporting Trans and Gender-Diverse Students in Your Teaching and Learning Spaces<\/strong><\/a>
\n<\/strong>Nov. 18 | 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. | Welland Campus
\nEmployees only<\/em><\/h4>\n

Offered in partnership with the Centre for Academic Excellence, this session will deepen participants’ understanding of the lived experiences of trans and gender-diverse students and how these experiences can shape their educational journeys.<\/p>\n

Participants will explore challenges and barriers students may encounter, reflect on their own assumptions and practices, and learn practical approaches to creating teaching and learning spaces where everyone feels respected, welcomed and supported.<\/p>\n

The workshop is open to NC employees only and will be offered in person. The room location will be shared following registration. Register here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Community Connections<\/strong><\/a>
\n<\/strong>Nov. 19 | 11:30 am. To 1:30 p.m. | Cafeteria Foyer Daniel J. Patterson Campus<\/h4>\n

The NC community is invited to connect with local organizations supporting trans and gender-diverse people across the Niagara Region. Community Connections will bring together community organizations to raise awareness, encourage discussion and introduce students and employees to local support services.<\/p>\n

The drop-in information fair is free to attend, and registration is not required.<\/p>\n

Celebrate NC alumna Priyanka<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Niagara College alumna and Alumni of Excellence<\/a> recipient Priyanka is returning to Niagara for her The Small Town Girl Tour<\/em> at the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre on Nov. 27.<\/p>\n

To celebrate her return, the EDI team is giving Niagara College students and employees an opportunity to win two VIP tickets to the show.<\/p>\n

Honouring Transgender Day of Remembrance<\/strong><\/h4>\n

On Nov. 20, flags at both Niagara College campuses will be lowered in observance of Transgender Day of Remembrance, honouring the memory of transgender people who have lost their lives to anti-transgender violence.<\/p>\n

Explore resources and learning opportunities<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The EDI team has recently launched a new list of 2SLGBTQIA+ community resources<\/a> on its website, connecting the College community with information and support services.<\/p>\n

NC also has a Guide to Washrooms on Campus which was created in response to feedback from students during previous Trans Awareness Week events and available on the EDI Website: Learning Resources & Guides | Equity, Diversity and Inclusion | Niagara College.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Guide explains each type of washroom and its features. The locations of gendered, single-user gender neutral, and accessible washrooms can be found here: www.niagaracollege.ca\/edi\/faq\/campus<\/a><\/p>\n

If you are looking to learn more about the types of washrooms available on campus, please visit the Washroom List<\/a> available on the EDI website.<\/p>\n

NC Libraries and Learning Centres displays<\/strong><\/h4>\n

From Nov. 13 to 20, Libraries and Learning Centres at both campuses will also feature displays highlighting the work of trans authors and a variety of educational resources. Community members are encouraged to stop by and explore the 2SLGBTQIA+ Subject Guide<\/a> for additional learning materials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Niagara College will mark Transgender Awareness Week from Nov. 13 to 19, raising awareness of transgender and gender-diverse people, highlighting the challenges they face and promoting understanding, inclusion and advocacy against discrimination and violence.

the upbringing of the Academy Award\u00ae-winning screenwriter of Milk, Dustin Lance Black. Traveling back to the places where he grew up, Black explores his childhood roots, gay identity and close relationship with his mother, who overcame childhood polio, abusive marriages and Mormon dogma, while becoming Black\u2019s emotional rock and, ultimately, the inspiration for his activism. With a wealth of personal photographs and candid memories from Black\u2019s family, colleagues, and friends, Mama’s Boy embraces the personal to tell a universally hopeful tale of resilience and reconciliation through the power of love and shared stories. Adapted from Black\u2019s 2019 memoir \u201cMama\u2019s Boy: A Story from our Americas,\u201d the documentary is a provocative and powerful journey through America as well as a moving tribute to a mother\u2019s courage and a reckoning with the strength she instilled in her son to fight for his beliefs.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\r\n\t\r\n\t<figure class=\"image d tb none\" >\r\n\r\n\t\t\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/edi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/125\/2026\/09\/Mamasboy.jpg\" alt=\"A boy kneeling in a football uniform holding a football\" \/>\r\n\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\r\n\t<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\t\r\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sensitive Content Warning:<\/strong> This film has content that may be sensitive for some viewers.

Learning about her disability and how to work with it has helped her approach barriers faced differently and given her the confidence to pursue opportunities beyond the classroom, including running for city council in Niagara Falls.<\/p>\n<p>“Niagara College has given me the tools to succeed and I’m so grateful. It’s changed my life,” she said.<\/p>\n<p>Taylor’s experience reflects the importance of creating learning environments where students can access the support they need to participate fully in their education.<\/p>\n<p>At NC, Accessibility Consultants work with students with disabilities to identify accommodations that provide equitable access to education. Supports are tailored to each student’s individual needs and may include guidance with documentation and assessments, alternative format textbooks, in-class academic accommodation and more.<\/p>\n<p>Students may connect with Accessibility Services at different points in their journey. Some may have an established diagnosis and know what accommodations they need, while others, like Taylor, may be seeking answers or learning more about themselves for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Kate Wiley, an Educational Developer with NC’s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/cae\/\">Centre for Academic Excellence<\/a>, specializes in accessibility and inclusion. She works to build awareness of disability through a social model, which recognizes that barriers in environments, systems and attitudes can create challenges for people with disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>“We often talk about students overcoming barriers, instead of being willing to ask why the barriers existed in the first place,” said Wiley. “For me, accessibility is not about making sure that a student can get through the door or access a course. Instead, it is about changing the questions we typically used to ask about how we can help a student fit into the box of how things have always been done and instead asking how we can change the environment to help students have real opportunities for success. When we can design learning environments, policies, and practices with diverse ways of being and thinking in mind, we give students genuine opportunities to participate and to thrive in environments that previously excluded them.”<\/p>\n<p>Creating an accessible learning environment also means recognizing that there is no single experience of disability. Students have different needs, may access support at different points in their education and may choose whether or not to disclose a disability.<\/p>\n<p>Accessing support has helped Taylor move beyond seeing the challenges she experienced throughout her life as personal shortcomings. It has also helped her see new possibilities for herself.<\/p>\n<p>Now an advocate for accessibility and inclusion, she hopes sharing her experience will encourage others to learn more about disability and consider how they can create more inclusive environments.<\/p>\n<p>During <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/2026\/09\/29\/nc-recognizes-disability-awareness-week-oct-5-9\/\">Disability Awareness Week<\/a>, the NC community is encouraged to learn more about disabilities, accessibility and the lived experiences of people with disabilities, and consider how we can create more inclusive spaces for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Taylor recognizes that not every student wants to talk openly about their disability, and no one should feel obligated to disclose it. But she wants students to know that support is available if they choose to access it.<\/p>\n<p>Her advice is simple: ask for help when you need it, explore the resources available and don’t let a disability define what you believe you can accomplish.<\/p>\n<p>“Tap into everything Niagara College is offering you as a student with a disability,” she said. “You will become more focused, stronger and more empowered, and realize that you are capable of doing anything. Don’t be ashamed of your disability, it’s your superpower.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This article is in recognition of Disability Awareness Week Oct. 5 \u2013 9 For Niagara College student Celia Taylor, understanding how she learns has changed more than her experience in the classroom, it has changed what she believes is possible.
