A Windsor-based agency serving transgender and LGB people in southwestern Ontario is moving to a larger space with aim of expanding services and helping more people.

WE Trans Support is moving out of its downtown digs to a spot twice the size at 1435 Tecumseh Rd. E. Doors at the new centre will open Oct. 1.

“When you walk into this space, it has a perfect mixture of professional and personal,” said executive director Jayce Carver. “And I really, really believe this is home.”

Carver said the agency has grown quickly since opening at 111 Wyandotte St. W. in April 2018. Its original goal was to provide one-on-one support to local transgender people through their coming out and transition processes.

But WE Trans Support has repeatedly expended its services to meet the peoples’ needs, said Carver.

The agency now offers drop-in hours, peer support mentors and groups, professional counselling services, and corporate training workshops.
