MEET calan breckon
Winner of the Gay Top Model competition in 2009, Calan has returned to his home-town of Coquitlam to create a Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) at his old high school. Born from that is The Diversity Project, an independent documentary film following the creation of the GSA at Centennial High School in Coquitlam. "When I started this journey to create a Gay-Straight Alliance at my old high school I had no idea that it would impact my life so drastically. I feel like the more positive I am about the project the more great people I meet and the better everything is looking day by day. I can’t predict what the outcome will be for The Diversity Project but my hope is that it can help people in a positive way to create positive change in their lives and communities. I believe that education, understanding and compassion are the key to future generations living in a homophobic-free and diverse world. I made a promise to myself when this all started to never take no for an answer, there is always a way if you’re willing to work hard enough and put in the effort that it takes."
