The Period Project

The Period Project ensures all part-time students have access to free, sustainable menstrual products on and off campus. Together, let’s address menstrual inequity and champion making period products readily available to all who need them.

Overview: Empowering every cycle. Period.

Accessing menstrual products is a human right. The Period Project ensures a stigma-free, safe and supportive space where any TMAPS member can access.

  • Free Period Products: With 1 in 7 people in Canada claiming period poverty* it is vitally important that students can access the products they need, when they need them. Our Period Bank allows members to discretely access menstrual products anytime they need via prescheduled appointments.
  • Health Education: Menstruation is a natural biological function, and it is important to understand and address the stigmas surrounding it. The Period Project provides workshops and events year round.

*Period Poverty is a lack of available, accessible and/or appropriate menstrual supplies and education, due to financial constraints and/or period stigmas.
