CCGSD worked towards stopping bullying, discrimination, and homophobia in schools and communities in Canada.

[6] The Canadian Centre for Gender and Sexual Diversity worked with schools to develop programs that engage students, staff, and the wider community to understand bullying, discrimination, homophobia and transphobia.

This included presentations, workshops, conferences, training, professional development, and other efforts to support youth initiatives and clubs.

In 2007, youth from Jer's Vision were inspired by David Shepherd and Travis Price to start the International Day of Pink.

The campaign, aimed at reclaiming the phrase "that's so gay" by creating an actual gay object - namely a sweater knit from yarn made from 100% human hair donated by the LGBT community - was timed to coincide with Toronto Fashion Week.
