Annual Pride and Trans Flag Raising
View in full page
When:
May 18, 2023
Posters/Attachments: Event Poster

LGBTQ+ Resource Centre and 2SLGBTQ+ Employee Resource Group (ERG) at Humber celebrate Pride Month in June 2023. We honour the identities and self-expression of two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and asexual members of our community, students, staff, and faculty. 

Humber College’s theme for Pride 2023 is “Queer Joy.” Amid growing curbs on the freedoms of 2SLGBTQIA+ people in the US and around the world, it is more important than ever that institutions like Humber make space for the celebration of queer life. 2SLGBTQIA+ people both inside and outside of Humber need to have their celebrations and happiness be an integral part of the wider community. When faced with forces that seek to restrict, invalidate or erase their lives, queer joy is a radical act. Realized fully, queer joy can continue to shape Humber into a more accepting, healthy and resilient community.  

In particular, we celebrate queer communities of colour, migrant 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, trans, intersex, and disabled queer folks who still navigate intersectional barriers in their everyday lives. We also acknowledge that Pride takes place on Indigenous lands, and that Pride Month takes place during National Indigenous History Month. We believe that reclaiming Indigenous two-spirit identities and traditions is central to the ongoing process of reconciliation and decolonization of 2SLGBTQIA+ movements.  

We invite the Humber community to contribute and join Humber’s 2SLGBTQ+ ERG & The LGBTQ+ Resource Centre for the Annual Pride and Trans Flag Raising on June 1. The flag-raising is a symbolic representation of Humber’s support for 2SLGBTQIA+ students, staff, faculty, and the broader community. 

This event is open to all students, staff, faculty, administration, and community members. It will be approximately 30 minutes and during this time there will be speakers from 2SLGBTQ+ Employee Resource Group, LGBTQ+ Resource Centre, IGNITE, and students. 

We hope to see you there! Time & Locations:

Thursday, June 1:

North Campus: 11 a.m. (in front of the LRC Building) 

Lakeshore: 11 a.m. (In front of the Welcome Building)

Do you have a vision and some great ideas to share about the planning for the future of the College? Give voice to your thoughts and join College Council!

Role of College Council

College Council is the collective voice of the College in that it is an assembly of faculty, support staff, students, and administrators who suggest directions in which the College should proceed. College Council advises the President on those College issues which it considers to be long and short-term priorities as identified in Humber’s Strategic Plan.

As of 2018, Humber’s three Strategic Pillars provide the foundation for the strategic priorities and corresponding supporting actions:

  1. Career-Ready Citizens
  2. Accessible Education
  3. Healthy and Inclusive Community

The Council advises the President of the College in matters affecting academic policy, planning, and practice, including, the successful implementation of Humber’s Strategic Plan initiatives. College policy or business items ultimately proceeding to the College's Board of Governors may appear at College Council at the discretion of the President, before final disposition at the Board of Governors.

Please visit our website for further information: http://humber.ca/wearehumber/committees/college-council
