Each year, the week following International Nonbinary People’s Day (July 14) is recognized as Nonbinary Awareness Week – a time to shine light on the experiences, resilience, and rights of nonbinary people in Canada and around the world.

In 2025, this week arrives during a critical moment. Across the country, trans and nonbinary communities are facing a troubling surge in anti-2SLGBTQI hate – driven by misinformation and disinformation, that seeks to undermine their safety, dignity, and humanity. From harmful policy decisions in Saskatchewan, and Alberta to ongoing barriers in healthcare, education, and employment, the need for support has never been greater.

On this page, you’ll find a range of resources, research, and tools designed to support nonbinary communities and educate allies.

Together, we can build a more informed, and inclusive Canada—where nonbinary people are not just seen, but celebrated.

This rise in anti-2SLGBTQI and specifically anti-trans hate is directly linked to the spread of misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation.
