Making Waves 2011!
A Gay/Straight Alliance Conference

Thank you for MAKING WAVES!!

Making Waves brought together students, staff, administrators, adult supporters and youth workers from across Nova Scotia to learn what they can do in their schools to combat homophobia and transphobia. We want to thank each and every one of you who attended, shared your stories and talents with us, and took a piece of it back with you to your communities. We are so excited to hear what comes out of MW2011. We left knowing what we had suspected all along: Gay/Straight Alliances are a movement that can and will change Nova Scotia for the better.

And we owe a pile of thank-yous for the day! In no particular order, here’s a big shout-out to the people and organizations that made it all possible:
