The Canadian centre for Men and Families is Toronto’s first social service agency focused on workshops, support groups and counselling for men’s issues. The organization strives to achieve equality for all Canadians, regardless of sexual orientation, expression, religious beliefs, family status, race, ethnicity, age or disability.

Discussions will be based on gender equality, and achieving equality for all men, women, girls and boys.We sincerely believe the goal of true equality and human rights is best served by conducting inclusive conversations based on facts and evidence, not by promoting ideology or special interest agendas.

• Masculinity in the media

• Ideological approaches to gender issues

• Men’s health services

• Men in the criminal justice system

• Sexual violence

• Objectification
