Who are we?

TESA's mission is to be a witness to and a voice for matters concerning trans-identified Albertans.

TESA was formed in the hopes that building a traditional non-profit advocacy group would open opportunities for formal engagement with authorities who otherwise overlook the unique needs of the larger trans community.

What do we do?

TESA engages in advocacy and education in three primary areas: government, outreach, and community development.

Government & Institutions:
  • policy analysis
  • letter writing
  • meetings and presentations

Education & Outreach:
  • media interviews
  • invited talks, presentations, and panels
  • invited consultation

Community Development:
  • fact sheets
  • workshops
  • community consultation
