Calgary’s First Queer Community Center Opens

Calgary’s long-awaited 2SLGBTQIA+ community center, the Calgary Rainbow Room, is finally opening June 29th after decades of dreaming — thanks to the vision of Lois Szabo. More than just a hangout, it’s a safe, supportive hub offering peer support, health education, tax clinics, and refugee aid, filling critical service gaps. Already hundreds are signed up, and local groups like Calgary Outlink and Rainbow Elders Calgary will anchor the space. Designed for connection and self-expression, it includes a lounge, craft room, and library stocked with queer-specific resources — a vital refuge and resource center for a city that’s finally catching up.
