A grassroots nonprofit formed to support, connect, and celebrate the 2SLGBTQIA+ community in Moose Jaw and surrounding rural areas. We’re building something long overdue—a safe, welcoming space where queer and trans folks of all ages, backgrounds, and experiences can feel seen, supported, and empowered. Born out of the need for real connection and visibility, PRISM is here to fill the gap with compassion, creativity, and pride.
Whether you’re looking for peer support, community events, opportunities to volunteer, or simply a place where you don’t have to explain who you are—we’re here. PRISM is made up of locals who care deeply, including queer veterans, newcomers, allies, and longtime Moose Jaw residents. We believe in showing up for one another, creating space for joy and healing, and building something that will last for generations to come.
The idea for PRISM was born after seeing how isolated and unsupported Moose Jaw’s 2SLGBTQIA+ community had become. It started with a simple but powerful goal: to create a space where queer and trans people feel seen, safe, and connected.
PRISM’s founding board came together with a shared vision of rebuilding queer community in Moose Jaw. These committed volunteers began shaping the foundation for lasting support, visibility, and safe spaces for 2SLGBTQIA+ people across the region.
On June 25th, PRISM Community Services Inc. became a legally incorporated nonprofit in Saskatchewan. This milestone marks the official beginning of our work to support, connect, and uplift the 2SLGBTQIA+ community in Moose Jaw and beyond.
PRISM Community Services Inc. was founded right here in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. We’re a local, grassroots nonprofit built by and for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Our team is made up of people who live, work, and care deeply about this city and the surrounding rural areas. We understand the unique challenges of being queer in smaller communities, because we’ve lived them—and that’s why we’re committed to creating a visible, inclusive, and supportive space right here at home.
At this time, PRISM Community Services Inc. does not operate a permanent space or drop-in centre—but it’s part of our long-term vision. For now, we host community events, peer support groups, and meetings in accessible public spaces around Moose Jaw. As we grow, we hope to establish a dedicated space where 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals can gather safely, access resources, and find community every day. Stay connected with us on social media or through our newsletter to learn where we’ll be next!
PRISM Community Services Inc. is currently registered as a nonprofit organization in Saskatchewan, but we are not yet a registered charity with the Canada Revenue Agency. This means we can accept donations and fundraise, but we cannot issue tax receipts at this time. Becoming a registered charity is a longer process, and we may pursue it in the future as we grow. In the meantime, your support still goes directly toward building programs, events, and resources for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community in Moose Jaw.
You can donate by e-transfer, in person, or through our GoFundMe. We also accept SARCAN donations to the Group Phrase: PRISM, and you can use the CO-OP number 59095 to donate your Coop points for rebate cheques. Anonymous donations are welcome. We’re working on becoming a registered charity, so we can’t issue tax receipts—but your support goes directly into creating something meaningful, lasting, and deeply needed. Thank you for helping us light the way.
Every contribution—big or small—makes a difference. Whether it’s $5, $50, or more, your support helps PRISM build safe, inclusive spaces and programs for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community in Moose Jaw. You can also donate anonymously if you prefer. What matters most is that you’re part of something meaningful—helping us grow a community where everyone belongs.
