The Bill 7 Award is a registered charitable trust that gives out bursaries to gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, queer and 2-spirited students in financial need in any post-secondary institution in Ontario.

The Award is named after the 1986 Ontario legislation that extended the protection of the Human Rights Code to lesbians and gays. Bill 7 is directed by a Board of Trustees made up of two organizations; Supporting Our Youth at the Sherbourne Health Centre, and the Lesbian and Gay Community Appeal. 

Since its inception in 1988, 25 bursaries totalling $21,350 have been presented to youth from our community. All the money has been raised through donations.

Invest in youth; invest in education; invest in our future. Please support the Bill 7 Award Trust.
