Message of support for the 2SLGBTQIA+ communities

On Wednesday, September 20, events held in several locations across the country promoted anti-queer and anti-trans speeches. In reaction, counter-protest participants affirmed their support for the 2SLGBTQIA+ communities.

We recognize the impact of the hateful events on Parks Canada colleagues, family, and friends whether you are a member of the 2SLGBTQIA+ communities or not, but especially the impact on Two-Spirit, transgender, nonbinary, and gender-diverse people. If you ever feel the need, reach out to Parks Canada Positive Space Ambassadors who are trained to provide support. Remember that we have resources available at the Parks Canada Pride Network and the Public Service Pride Network.

Parks Canada always stands strongly alongside our 2SLGBTQIA+ colleagues, and particularly during these difficult moments.

In support,

Marcia Morash and Andrew Campbell
Parks Pride Network Cochampions
