Pride at the University
June is Pride month
Pride month was established in honour of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in New York. Throughout the month, university community members are invited to participate in events that honour, celebrate, and affirm the dignity, equality, and increased visibility for people of diverse sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions.
Pride 2023
Thank you to everyone who came out for the 2023 Positive Space Pride Kick-off. This year we partnered with the Urban Farm, who hosted us in their remarkable roof-top garden, which is home to the Indigenous Foodways and Black Food Sovereignty projects.
Positive Space at the university
The Positive Space Faculty and Staff Network is a volunteer-based network at the university, comprised of staff and faculty of diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions, committed to creating and maintaining a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment.
