Christian Tanguay, Adm.A. (HE/HIM)
Executive Director
Christian TANGUAY has been involved in the Montreal LGBTQ+ community for many years. A graduate in management from HEC Montreal, he first became involved in a dedicated way with Jeunesse Lambda.
His volunteer experience and academic background made him a perfect candidate for the position of Executive Director. So Christian joined the Centre in the summer of 2014. His plans to modernize the Center and his dedication to the cause will certainly allow the Center to continue to increase its potential to support and benefit the community.

André HO (HE/HIM)
PROGRAM COORDINATOR
André HO is the Program Coordinator of the Montreal LGBTQ+ Community Centre. For him, marginalized communities are not the source of the problem, but rather they bear the brunt of the problems imposed on them. As a result, his philosophy is “when we demand justice, we do not bother others, it is others who feel bothered,” which is an invitation to speak out for the communities he works with.
(In office since June 15, 2015)
Our vision is a society where all LGBTQ+ individuals can realize their full potential in an environment that welcomes diversity.
