OUTLoud North Bay
At OUTLoud North Bay, we are committed to supporting and celebrating our community by creating an equitable, diverse, and inclusive space where all youth feel safe and valued. Through strong partnerships, we offer referral pathways for mental health supports, harm reduction resources, suicide‑prevention and gender affirming care. We also provide workshops that build wellbeing, confidence, education, life skills, tutoring, and job readiness made possible through the collaboration of many dedicated community partners.
Our community hub welcomes all youth ages 10–18, embracing every identity, sexual orientation, gender, race, religion, culture, and ability. We are here to foster a community grounded in love, respect, understanding, acceptance, and learning. Together, we have created a sacred space where young people can connect, grow, explore, and support one another in harmony.
A Safe Space for Youth
Conveniently located on a bus route, our space has it all. From music, to video games, to books and more. There’s something for everybody!

Indigenous Land Recognition & Greeting
OUTLoud North Bay honours that our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Anishinabek Nation. We extend our respect and gratitude to the Métis, Inuit, and all First Nations across Turtle Island who have cared for, protected, and sustained these lands since time immemorial.
We invite everyone to pause and recognize the First Peoples of this land, and to reflect on our shared responsibility to protect and respect the places where we live, learn, gather, and grow. As we do this work, we acknowledge the ongoing impacts of colonialism, the harm, displacement, and systemic inequities that continue to affect Indigenous Peoples today.
As an organization dedicated to supporting and uplifting Two-Spirit and LGBTQQIA+ youth and young adults, we understand that reconciliation is inseparable from justice, safety, and belonging. We are committed to learning from Indigenous communities, amplifying Indigenous voices, and taking action that aligns with the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action within our organization and throughout our community.
