Description

March Vancouver At the annual general meeting of ASK a committee was formed to enquire into the feasibility of starting a lesbian/gay social centre in Vancouver to be called The Circle. This would be a private social club that would cooperate with ASK but be separate from it. ASK disbanded temporarily in the summer of 1965 but reformed in 1966 and continued towards the goal of forming some sort of centre. The ASK Centre, the first community social centre in Canada run by a homophile organization, opened at the end of 1966. The idea for a social group called The Circle did not disappear, however. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, a non-profit homophile organization called The Circle was active in Vancouver under the direction of Mrs. D. Beck. It was devoted to education and personal counselling on homosexuality. (see also December 31, 1966.)
