Local LGBT organizations, including GayYorkRegion.com, participating in the Toronto Pride parade - June 29th, 2008
Welcome to GayYorkRegion.com
Irrespective of their sexuality, many residents of York Region believe that there are no gay related services, resources or venues in this region - all such things are to be found in Toronto.
In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. The region has gay friendly venues, support groups, social groups, specialist counselling and health services, several agencies offering LGBT specific services, and its own annual pride week festival.
GayYorkRegion.com exists to provide a central point of reference to all of those regional venues, services and resources.
York Pride Fest
