Pride Day/Week

Your gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgendered brothers and sisters in the PSAC, invite you to celebrate the various "Pride" events happening in cities and communities across Canada.

In most parts of Canada, events are scheduled throughout June, while in B.C. "Pride" celebrations take place in August.

"Pride Week" marks the anniversary of the "Stonewall Riots" which occurred in New York City in June of 1969. The Riots were the turning point in the increased resistance to oppression and harassment caused by policy and by government officials. A strong, diverse community of "Pride" has evolved since the riots and the PSAC is proud to be part of the continuing struggle.
