Rainbow 101
June 12th
All people are welcome. We hope to promote understanding, encourage mindful inclusive thinking, and inspire positive growth in each other and ourselves as we learn together.
Pride + Resistance = Resilience
Pride is good at all Times.
Pride keeps us Visible.
Pride keeps us working Together.
We are resilient. We are still here.
Pride keeps us Celebrating our amazing place in the World.
Join us as we journey through a little Queer History, Claiming our Rights, and Transgender Story.
And a special guest appearance of 3 Dykes in a Row, an up-and-coming local lip-sync group.
Don’t be afraid to claim your own talent and get involved yourself.
Gay resistance in Canada is a rich historical and ongoing movement formed by public protest, fierce pushback against systemic government discrimination, and landmark legal challenges.
Why does it still matter? Why act now? Because progress isn’t permanent.
History is the past that we move from, the echo through every right we hold, every story we tell, and every change we hope will come.
And because we don’t do it alone.
United, we stand the chance to continue the fight for equality and acceptance in all spaces.
Celebrating Pride is lots of fun. Why not join us?
This is a pot luck event, bring what you can and enjoy what is there.
