A Home for the 2SLGBTQIA+ Community

In 2024, PEERS Alliance took a crucial step towards organizational and community sustainability by making a down payment on our building at 250 Queen Street in downtown Charlottetown, the very place we’ve rented since 2021.

A New Era

With 35 years of community work under our belts, PEERS Alliance has tirelessly supported the 2SLGBTQIA+ community since its inception as the AIDS PEI Community Support Group in 1990. We have grown into a vital hub for sexual health education, harm reduction, and community-building. By purchasing our building in the heart of Charlottetown, we move into a new era where we have the opportunity to ensure that the 2SLGBTQIA+ community has a safe and vibrant home for years to come.

Our Values and History

  • "This program is a gem- a little spark of creativity in what can be a long dreary winter. And a safe space for us weirdos, dreamers and nerds."

    —Weekly Tabletop Roleplaying Games Program Participant

  • "The facilitators had a great energy and are honest, informed and welcoming. They have a great skill - slapping one upside the head with truths, while mixing it with humour and kindness so it lands effectively. I walked away feeling more informed. Thank you."

    —Brave Spaces 101 Participant

  • "This youth group was the place where I came out to someone for the first time. I never realized that PEI had such a big community of people like me... it opened my eyes to the fact that I’m not as different and alone as I thought I was."

    —Rainbow Youth Club Participant

  • "This session was a welcome opportunity to not only share essential information and express varied views based on experience, culture, and perspective, but it also provided a much-needed occasion for each of us to connect and interact with diverse members of Prince Edward Island’s MSM community."

    —Member of the MSM Focus Group

  • "I just wanted to say thank you again for coming out the other day. You guys are all amazing at what you do, you’re all so helpful and there’s no judgement, and it takes a lot to have a job where you deal with some of society’s most vulnerable people.”

    —Harm Reduction Participant

  • "I am happy I discovered Roots & Shoots a little over one year ago. I feel it is a space where I get to learn from other parents but also share my experiences. It is a good program that my child reminds me two weeks in advance to attend!"
