Peterborough Community Legal Centre’s Trans ID Clinic

Fleming students may be eligible for free legal support with official name/gender marker changes. Eligibility will be determined during a participant’s intake appointment and depends on the person’s income and household members, age (16+), and must be within the Peterborough catchment area. If you are a Fleming student residing elsewhere, contact namechange@flemingcollege.ca to see if you might be eligible or other supports available to you. Students can also apply for the Fleming Name Change Bursary to cover costs.
