Message de la mairesse Valérie Plante
Je souhaite la plus cordiale bienvenue à Montréal à toutes les participantes
et à tous les participants de la Conférence de l’Association canadienne des
professionnels en santé des personnes transsexuelles (CPATH).
Cette conférence offre à Montréal l’occasion de réaffirmer son statut de ville
de savoir, grâce aux étudiants, chercheurs et professionnels de la santé, ainsi
qu’aux membres des communautés trans, qui ont un intérêt à soutenir la
santé des personnes de la diversité sexuelle ou de genre et qui viennent faire
part de leurs expertises, de leurs meilleures pratiques et des développements
de pointe.
Je vous souhaite une alliance fructueuse entre scientifiques et praticiens, au
profit de l’avancement de la recherche et de la santé. À titre de collectivité,
nous devons soutenir et reconnaître l’expertise et les innovations qui émergent
de ce secteur.
La diversité montréalaise et le bien-être des citoyennes et citoyens sont
primordiales pour le développement et le rayonnement de la métropole.
Montréal est une ville plus ouverte et inclusive grâce aux gens d’horizons
multiples qui la composent. Cette conférence nous rappelle l’importance de
célébrer la diversité et les organismes qui, par leurs actions, contribuent à
l’épanouissement des personnes LGBTQ+.
Je tiens à saluer les membres et professionnels de la CPATH pour
l’organisation de cet événement et pour leurs contributions à améliorer la santé
de nos concitoyennes et concitoyens.
Je souhaite également la bienvenue à toutes celles et à tous ceux qui visitent
notre belle métropole pour la première fois.
Je vous souhaite une conférence fructueuse et un beau séjour à Montréal.

Message from Mayor Valérie Plante
I would like to extend a warm welcome to everyone participating in the
Canadian Professional Association for Transgender Health (CPATH) Conference
in Montréal.
This conference provides Montréal with an opportunity to reaffirm its status as
a city of knowledge, thanks to students, researchers and health professionals,
as well as members of trans communities, who have an interest in supporting
the health of people of sexual or gender diversity and who come to share their
expertise, best practices and cutting-edge developments.
I wish you a fruitful alliance between scientists and practitioners, for the
advancement of research and health. As a community, we must support and
recognize the expertise and innovations that emerge from this sector.
Montréal’s diversity and the well-being of its citizens are essential to the city’s
development and influence. Montréal is a more open and inclusive city thanks
to its diverse population. This conference reminds us of the importance of
celebrating diversity and the organizations that, through their actions, contribute
to the development of LGBTQ+ people.
I would like to salute the members and professionals of the CPATH for
organizing this event and for their contributions to improving the health of our
fellow citizens.
I also welcome all those who are visiting our beautiful city for the first time.
I wish you a successful conference and a pleasant stay in Montréal.
Valérie Plant
MAYOR OF MONTREAL

Message from the Chair
I am honoured to welcome you all to this celebration of community and
knowledge. The CPATH family has grown since its beginnings in 2007 and its
vision and direction has taken many turns since then. This is ever so vividly on
display during next these few days of pre-conference training and conference.
Much has happened, within the body of CPATH and nationally, since our last
conference.
On the national level, we have seen developments in the provision of health care
to trans and gender diverse persons in British Columbia as well as in Ontario.
Manitoba has recently seen healthcare professionals go to train in surgical
procedures abroad. These developments allow trans and gender diverse persons
to access care that was previously less available. While we have cause to be
heartened, there is much work yet to do. CPATH continues to strive to see equality
of access for every trans person in Canada.
In terms of CPATH, in order to continue to strive for the above, we have to continue
to look within ourselves as an organization to address what limits the work we do
and can do. We must strive to have a body that fully represents all trans persons in
Canada. Trans and gender diverse persons must be able to see themselves within
us. As such we will learn from the experience of this conference - the academic
offerings, the networking, the feeling of community, the failings, and the messages
each of these give, to make CPATH more engaged, inclusive and representative.
Please celebrate this conference with us. And from this, let us look forward to
the next phase together.
Dr. Michael Marshall,
PRESIDENT-ELECT
CO-CHAIR MONTREAL

Message du président
Je suis honoré de vous accueillir toustes à cette célébration de la communauté et
du savoir. La famille CPATH s’est agrandie depuis ses débuts en 2007 et sa vision
et son orientation ont pris plusieurs formes depuis lors. C’est ce que l’on pourra
constater au cours de ces quelques jours de formations préconférence et de
conférence.
Il s’est passé beaucoup de choses au sein de la CPATH et à l’échelle nationale,
depuis notre dernière conférence.
À l’échelle nationale, nous avons constaté des progrès dans la prestation de soins
de santé aux personnes transgenres et de genre divers en Colombie-Britannique
ainsi qu’en Ontario. Le Manitoba a récemment vu des professionnels de la santé
suivre une formation en chirurgie à l’étranger. Ces développements permettent
aux personnes transgenres et de genre divers d’avoir accès à des soins qui étaient
auparavant moins disponibles. Bien que nous ayons des raisons d’être réconfortés,
il reste encore beaucoup de travail à faire. CPATH continue de travailler à assurer
l’égalité d’accès pour toutes les personnes transgenres au Canada.
En ce qui concerne CPATH, afin d’atteindre ce que je viens de nommer, nous
devons toujours porter un regard vers l’intérieur en tant qu’organisation dans le
but de comprendre ce qui limite le travail que nous faisons et que nous pouvons
faire. Nous devons tendre vers un organisme qui représente pleinement toutes les
personnes transgenres du Canada. Les personnes transgenres et de genre divers
doivent être capables de se voir en nous. À ce titre, nous tirerons des leçons de
l’expérience de cette conférence - les présentations académiques, le réseautage,
le sentiment d’appartenance à la communauté, les lacunes, et les messages à
extraire de chacune de ces dimensions afin de rendre CPATH plus engagée,
inclusive et représentative.
Veuillez célébrer cette conférence avec nous. Et à partir de ce moment, fixons
ensemble notre regard vers la prochaine étape.

Fostering a Rich Learning Environment
CPATH conferences are known for providing a rich learning environment on several fronts.
CPATH is known for curating content at the leading edges of the field, and our conferences bring
together professionals – both cisgender and transgender – from a broad range of sectors and
disciplines, alongside trans and Two-Spirit1 community members who are working for positive change.
Perhaps most importantly, participants are welcoming and inclusive, supportive, and recognize that
we each have areas where we can learn and grow, and we each bring something of value, whether as
newcomers to gender affirming healthcare, or people who have a decade or more of experience.
Many trans and Two-Spirit people are understandably frustrated and angry about the lack or rate of
change they see in systems that can act as oppressive forces on their own and others’ lives.
Partners and family members of trans and Two-Spirit people may have witnessed their loved ones
struggling with challenges in accessing support and services, and may have experienced similar
frustration. Many cisgender people work tirelessly with their trans and Two-Spirit colleagues and with
their local trans advocacy and frontline groups to improve health outcomes and to challenge and
catalyze change in systems which aren’t currently serving trans and Two-Spirit people well.
Some providers may be the only person in their community who is working with trans or Two-Spirit
people. And some conference participants – both trans and cisgender, Indigenous and of settler
heritage – are brand new to learning about gender affirming healthcare.
As part of contributing to the shared learning environment at the conference, we invite you to consider
– and perhaps ask one another – “How do you most hope to learn and grow through participating in
this conference? How will you orient yourself to engage with new information? How will you be open to
content that may challenge deeply held convictions and ways of functioning?”
Gender-related Etiquette
As the conference brings together a breadth of cisgender, trans, and Two-Spirit participants, please do
not assume anyone’s gender identity. Please ask about pronouns, especially when speaking of someone
in the 3rd person. If in doubt, avoid pronouns or use gender neutral pronouns such as “they”.
Please be aware that washrooms are for everyone and that conference participants are invited to use
the washroom that is most comfortable for them. Conference washrooms will be gender neutral.

cultures. For more information, see http://transhealth.phsa.ca/trans-101/two-spirit

Favoriser un environnement d’apprentissage enrichissant
Les conférences du CPATH sont connues pour offrir un cadre d’apprentissage enrichissant à plusieurs
niveaux. Le CPATH est connu pour être à la fine pointe dans son champ d’expertise, et nos conférences
apportent aussi bien aux professionnels – cisgenres et transgenres – qui couvrent un large éventail de
secteurs et de disciplines, qu’aux membres des communautés trans et bi spirituelles. Mais peut-être le
plus important, les participants sont accueillants et inclusifs, solidaires, et savent que chacun de nous peut
partager une expérience à partir de laquelle nous pouvons tous apprendre et évoluer, peu importe que
nous soyons des nouveaux venus dans la volonté d’améliorer la santé des personnes trans, ou que nous
ayons des années d’engagement et d’expérience en la matière.
Beaucoup de personnes trans et bi spirituelles sont, avec raison, frustrées et parfois en colère face à la
lenteur et/ou au peu de changements. Elles perçoivent cette situation comme des forces oppressives
jouant contre elles-mêmes et contre leurs proches. Les partenaires et les familles des personnes trans
et bi spirituelles les soutiennent devant les défis auxquels elles doivent se confronter pour avoir accès
à du soutien et à des services. Beaucoup de personnes cisgenres travaillent inlassablement avec leurs
collègues trans et bi spirituels et avec les organismes trans pour améliorer les résultats, et pour relever
les défis rencontrés dans le système qui actuellement ne sert pas adéquatement les personnes trans et
bi spirituelles. Quelques fournisseurs de service sont parfois les seules personnes de leur communauté à
travailler avec les personnes trans et bi spirituelles. Et plusieurs participants à la conférence, personnes
trans et cisgenres, autochtones et non autochtones, en seront à leur première conférence pour en
connaître plus.
Comme contribution à ce partage d’un environnement d’apprentissage durant la conférence, nous vous
invitons à considérer – et peut-être à ce que chacun se demande – « Qu’est-ce que vous attendez le plus
comme apprentissage en participant à cette conférence ? Comment vous engagerez-vous vous-même
suite à ces nouvelles connaissances ? Comment envisagez-vous ce défi de remettre en questions des
comportements et des convictions profondément ancrées ? »
Respecter le genre choisi
Comme la conférence rassemblera un large éventail de personnes cisgenres, trans et bi spirituelles, s’il
vous plaît ne présumez pas de l’identité de genre de chacun. Demandez quel pronom vous devez utiliser,
spécialement si vous parlez de quelqu’un à la 3e personne.
Veuillez aussi noter que les toilettes seront indifférenciées et les participants à la conférence seront invités
à utiliser les toilettes dans lesquelles ils se sentiront le plus à l’aise. Les toilettes de la conférence seront
neutres quant au genre.

What is a Safer Space?
It is becoming more common for Safer Spaces to be provided at large gatherings focusing on
marginalized populations. Many CPATH conference participants may be familiar with the concept
of “positive space” which helps to identify spaces and individuals that are welcoming of lesbian, gay,
bisexual, transgender, Two-Spirit, and queer people. A Safer Space takes an intersectional approach,
recognizing that people may seek spaces that are welcoming not only in relation to sexual orientation and
gender identity, but also in relation to many other aspects of peoples’ identities or lived experiences, such
as race, ability, class, etc.
At the CPATH conference, we recognize that no space is entirely safe; our aim is to continuously work
with people to meet their needs in a “Safer Space”. At the conference, the Safer Space is a place where
anyone can relax, can talk about their experiences, and will be welcomed and affirmed whether they are
or aren’t a member of trans communities, whether they are Indigenous or are of settler heritage of any
race/ethnicity, regardless of sexual orientation, cultural background, religious or spiritual affiliation, age,
physical or mental abilities, or their professional or personal roles and affiliations in relation to the health

and well-being of trans people and communities.1
The Safer Space: Salon 6
The Safer Space will be available during daytime conference events.
Participants who visit the safer space will notice:
• An evolving set of guidelines addressing respect, diversity, and anti-oppression
• That the space is located away from the main conference events/activities
• The availability of decompression activities, sensory enhancement activities and supplies,
educational and identity affirming resources.
• That there is an easily identifiable and approachable active listener in the room.
These individuals have skills in active listening, verbal and non-verbal communication,
confidentiality and problem solving.2, 3
• Opportunities to provide anonymous feedback/expression/reactions in the Safer Space.

Qu’est-ce qu’un espace sécuritaire ?
Il est habituel maintenant d’offrir en général des espaces sécuritaires lors de rassemblements qui
pourraient susciter de fortes émotions chez les participants. Beaucoup de participants a la conférence
du CPATH sont peut-être familiers avec le concept « d’espace positif » qui aide à identifier des espaces
collectifs et individuels dans lesquels les lesbiennes, les gais, les bisexuels, les bi spirituels, et les
queers sont les bienvenus. Un espace sécuritaire est une approche intersectionnelle, qui reconnaît
que des personnes souhaitent des espaces où elles sont les bienvenues en raison de leur orientation
sexuelle ou de leur identité de genre, mais aussi avec des personnes partageant leurs origines, ou leur
classe sociale, ou encore leur capacité physique ou mentale, etc.
Pendant la conférence du CPATH, nous sommes conscients qu’aucun espace n’est entièrement
sécuritaire. Notre objectif est donc de continuellement travailler pour rejoindre les attentes des
personnes en matière « d’espace sécuritaire ». Un espace sécuritaire est un endroit où chacun peut
relaxer, parler de ses expériences, et se sentir le bienvenu tout en s’affirmant, indépendamment qu’il
soit ou non membre des communautés trans, qu’il soit ou non autochtone, qu’il soit ou non d’une
minorité racisée ou ethnique, et indépendamment aussi de son orientation sexuelle, de son milieu
culturel, religieux, spirituel, de son âge, de ses capacités physiques ou mentales, ou de ses affiliations
personnelles ou professionnelles en relation avec la santé et le bien-être des personnes et des
communautés trans1.
L’Espace sécuritaire : Salon 6
L’espace sécuritaire sera ouvert toute la journée durant tous les événements de la conférence.
Les participants qui visiteront l’espace sécuritaire remarqueront :
• un ensemble de lignes directrices concernant le respect, la diversité, et l’anti-oppression ;
• que l’espace est situé loin des activités et des événements de la conférence ;
• la mise à disposition d’activités de décompression, d’activités d’amélioration des capacités
sensorielles, et des ressources d’éducation et d’affirmation de son identité.
• Qu’il y a quelqu’un identifiable et accessible offrant de l’écoute active dans la salle.
Ces personnes possèdent des compétences dans la communication verbale et non verbale,
la confidentialité et la résolution de problèmes.2, 3
• La possibilité de recevoir de l’aide et du soutien en toute confidentialité.

Acknowledgements
CPATH is committed to providing conference content in English and French. Unfortunately, although
we are committed to providing simultaneous interpretation for the entire conference, implementing full
English/French/English language access is a complex and expensive process, and requires financial
resources currently beyond CPATH’s reach.
The CPATH 2019 Conference will be providing simultaneous interpretation in all sessions held in room

CPATH est engagé à fournir un contenu de la conférence en anglais et en français. Malheureusement,
bien que nous souhaiterions assurer l’interprétation simultanée pour l’ensemble de la conférence, la
mise en oeuvre d’une interprétation anglais / français / anglais représente un processus complexe et
coûteux, et nécessite des ressources financières actuellement au-delà de la portée de la CPATH.
La conférence CPATH 2019 offrira des services d’interprétation simultanée pour toutes les séances
tenues dans la salle 7F Ballroom Centre.
