About the History of the Right to Love Group

The Right to Love is a group of people with disabilities and the Centre for Sexuality (formerly the Calgary Sexual Health Centre). From 2009 until 2019,  we worked towards healthy sexuality and education for everyone. 

Right to Love videos are stories to help raise awareness that everyone has the right to love. 

We encourage people to seek the educational expertise of the Centre for Sexuality if they need help or research.

NETWORKING
