The Bill 7 Award is a registered charitable trust that
awards 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 appointed by two organizations; Supporting Our
Youth at the Sherbourne Health Centre, and the
CommunityOne Foundation (formerly, the Lesbian and Gay
Community Appeal).
Since its inception in 1988, 37 bursaries totaling
$51,350 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.
