FAQS (Fleming's Association of Queer Students and their Supporters)

• FAQS² is an alliance of students at Sir Sandford Fleming College. It is designed to be a positive atmosphere for all sexualities free from any prejudice or harassment. We believe that every individual, straight, gay, bisexual, or any other shade of the queer spectrum is entitled to and should be offered the same rights and privileges as the rest of the populace. In an effort to combat this heterosexism, FAQS² regularly holds various events and campaigns to promote social awareness in an effort to create a more inclusive community, while at the same time having fun at both meetings and various social events.
