Trans Day of Remembrance

Also known as the International Transgender Day of Remembrance, Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR) is observed each year on November 20th to remember those who have been lost as a result of transphobia worldwide, as well as draw attention to the issue of transphobia and the violence that ensues as a result.

We’ve assembled a list of vigils and events across the country being held to mark the Transgender Day of Remembrance. Click on your province or territory below to find an event near you. Unless otherwise noted, all events take place on Sunday, November 20th 2022.

Know of a TDoR vigil missing from our list? Send us an email and we’ll add it below.

Please note: These events are not affiliated with the CCGSD, and we have no control over their planning or content. We created this resource as a way to amplify events for those wishing to commemorate TDoR.
