Each year, Pride events are planned in many communities across Ontario. Pride is not just a parade. Many communities offer a variety of activities in which everyone - including ETFO locals, Gay Straight Alliance (GSA) committees and social justice clubs - can participate.

Pride is about creating inclusive schoolplaces and communities. It's an opportunity for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning (LGBTQ) people and allies to challenge homophobia, biphobia and transphobia and promote social justice and equity.

Watch for the 2017 Ontario Pride Events poster with events planned across the province from May through September, or view it here.
