How Far Have We Come And Where Do We Need To Go

Please join us for a presentation by Helen Kennedy, Executive Director of Egale Canada.

In 2017, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivered a historic apology to LGBT Canadians for decades of “state sponsored, systematic oppression and rejection.” 2019 will mark the 50th anniversary of de-criminalization of same-sex sexual activity in Canada. Same sex marriage has been legal in Canada for over a decade. Rainbow flags are omnipresent during Pride across our country. But what does it really mean to be LGBT in Canada today? How far have we come towards true inclusion?

We look forward to seeing you there.
