History
In 1973 CTYS was incorporated and licensed as a Children’s Mental Health Centre.
In 1987 the Sexual Orientation and Youth Program (SOYP) of CTYS gained core-funding from MCSS, a unique status as the only core-funded program for lesbian, gay and bisexual youth in Canada. It later joined with the AIDS Committee of Toronto and Positive Youth Outreach to form the first campaign in Canada specifically targeting youth with AIDS or HIV.
In 2007 CTYS was honoured at the City of Toronto Access, Equity and Human Rights Awards ceremony as recipients of the Pride Award for their work with gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Youth.

sifting her own life out from the shards she’s piecing,
asking the clay all questions but her own.”
