This year, we celebrate Re-Emergence, honouring the brave actions of 2SLGBTQIA+ activists who have fought, and continue to fight, for safer, more inclusive communities. Join us as we reflect on the past and build a brighter future together.

Milestones and Highlights:

The LGBT Purge - 35 Years Later: In 1990, Michelle Douglas challenged the Canadian military's discriminatory policies, leading to their removal in 1992. In 2016, Martine Roy, Todd Ross, and Alida Satalic spearheaded a class-action lawsuit, bringing justice to hundreds of Purge survivors.

Two-Spirit Communities: 35 years since the adoption of the term "Two-Spirit" by Indigenous leaders, 10 years since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Final Report and its 94 Calls to Action, and 5 years since the release of the Final Report on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit Peoples with its 231 Calls for Justice.

Join us for incredible discussions and performances with 2SLGBTQIA+ community leaders who have shaped our history including: Todd Ross
