Pride Opening Ceremonies

Pride 2024 Opening Ceremonies: You Belong Here!

The Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging in partnership with the LGBTQ+ Resource Centre and the 2SLGBTQ+ Employee Resource Group (ERG) will be celebrating Pride Month in June 2024. 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 encourage the Humber community to celebrate with us as 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.

We will be marking the start of Pride month on Monday, June 3 by hosting an opening ceremony and Pride and Trans flag raising at both the North and Lakeshore campuses.

Join us:

  • International Graduate School: Fourth floor Learning Commons at 11:30 a.m. live stream following a tie dye event 
  • North Campus: Flag pole at 11:30 a.m. with a mix and mingle taking place from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. in the LRC Lobby
  • Lakeshore Campus: Flag pole at 11:30 a.m. with a mix and mingle taking place from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. in WEL 201

The mix and mingle will feature student performances, drag queens and light refreshments. We hope to see you all there! 

More information on 2SLGBTQIA+ identities, terminology, and issues for the curious, questioning, teachers and allies can be found in the 2SLGBTQ+ Education Guide.
