**Kind Space** is a Canadian nonprofit organization operating as an LGBTQ+ community centre in Ottawa, Ontario. Registered as a charity in 1984 under the name **Pink Triangle Services (PTS)**, it is recognized as Canada's oldest registered LGBTQ+-specific charity[2]. The organization rebranded as Kind Space in 2015 after securing a $100,000 rebranding package and restructuring to address financial challenges[2].

### History  
Originally established to provide support for LGBTQ+ individuals, Kind Space (as PTS) became a critical resource during the AIDS crisis in the 1980s–1990s. Financial instability led to temporary layoffs and restructuring before its 2015 rebranding. Post-rebranding efforts included partnerships with organizations such as Planned Parenthood Ottawa and achieving debt-free status by 2017[2].

### Services and Programs  
Kind Space offers:  
- **Support groups and short-term therapy**: Including mental health services and peer-led initiatives[3].  
- **Dr. Kelly McGinnis Community Library**: Named in honor of an HIV/AIDS care advocate, it houses Canada's oldest LGBTQ+ resource collection[3].  
- **Out of The Closet**: A free clothing program providing cleaned garments to community members[3].  
- **Space rentals**: Affordable meeting rooms for community events[3].  

### Governance and Values  
The organization emphasizes **accessibility**, **community participation**, and **transparency**, prioritizing marginalized identities within the 2SLGBTQ+ spectrum. It operates on unceded Algonquin territory and centers **self-determination** and **communities of care** in its programming[5][2].
