The University of Toronto Homophile Association (UTHA) was Canada's first gay and lesbian student organization, and one of the first gay liberation organizations in the country. Founded in 1969 at the University of Toronto, the UTHA paved the way for similar student groups across the province of Ontario and led to the establishment of the Community Homophile Association of Toronto.
