On 4 May 2012, OUTSPORT TORONTO presented a workshop at the Toronto District School Board's FUTURES 2012 conference, the theme of which was "Equity and Inclusive Education". OUTSPORT TORONTO's workshop (entitled "Making It Better Now: Ending Homophobia and Transphobia in School Athletics and Physical Education") was focused on accessibility of physical education, intermural, and varsity athletics to LGBT students.

We have discussed doing a longer version with Cave Painter Films, particularly since we have about five hours of footage in total.
