What will you add to Pride?
Join in the conversation with the Humber community as the LGBTQ+ Resource Centre hosts our first #DisplayYourPride initiative to celebrate Pride Month at both the North and Lakeshore campuses! Beginning June 1st, we invite you to take a step on the creative side and ‘pride-ify’ your office or student space in the spirit of Pride and celebrate LGBTQ+ communities.
We will be joining our colleagues at Ryerson, University of Toronto, York, and OCAD in this initiative, so let’s show everyone our Humber Hawk Pride! This event is a fabulous way to build awareness and create safer communities for LGBTQ+ folks across Humber.
To participate:
- Decorate your office or student space in the spirit of Pride
- Take a photo of your space and upload it to Twitter or Instagram using the hashtags: #DisplayYourPride #HumberLGBTQ #WeAreProud
- You can also follow us on Twitter and Instagram @HumberLGBTQ to see Humber’s Pride
This event is open to everyone, so join in and let loose! Remember - there are no limitations or expectations; let your creativity shine through. This is your Pride, your way.
Not sure where to start? How about here, with a simple Pride flag you can print at your desk.
