GENERAL SCHOOL NEWS
This PRIDE month, did you know that:
- In 1971, hundreds of people gathered in Ottawa for what was considered the first gay rights protest in Canadian history.
- The first coordinated Pride celebrations happened during Pride Week in 1973— which included events in Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Saskatoon, and Winnipeg. People held picnics, dances, and film screenings. This is considered the start of Pride celebrations in Canada!
Indigenous Leadership and GSA will be selling PRIDE hoodies on Mondays for the month of June during lunch in the counselling foyer - while supplies last!

Have you checked the lost and found table lately? It’s just outside the Career Centre and things keep piling up! Please have a look and see if you recognize something then take it home. All items left at the end of June will be donated to a local charity.
