Event Description

This year, we celebrate Re-Emergence, honouring the brave actions of 2SLGBTQIA+ activists who have fought, and continue to fight, for safer, more inclusive communities. Join us as we reflect on the past and build a brighter future together.

Milestones and Highlights:

The LGBT Purge - 35 Years Later: In 1990, Michelle Douglas challenged the Canadian military's discriminatory policies, leading to their removal in 1992. In 2016, Martine Roy, Todd Ross, and Alida Satalic spearheaded a class-action lawsuit, bringing justice to hundreds of Purge survivors.

Two-Spirit Communities: 35 years since the adoption of the term "Two-Spirit" by Indigenous leaders, 10 years since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Final Report and its 94 Calls to Action, and 5 years since the release of the Final Report on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit Peoples with its 231 Calls for Justice.

Join us for incredible discussions and performances with 2SLGBTQIA+ community leaders who have shaped our history.

Tournée Ré-Emergence

Cette année, nous célébrons la réémergence, en rendant hommage aux actions courageuses des militants 2SLGBTQIA+ qui se sont battus et continuent de se battre pour des communautés plus sûres et plus inclusives. Rejoignez-nous pour réfléchir au passé et construire ensemble un avenir meilleur.

Étapes clés et faits marquants :

La purge LGBT - 35 ans plus tard : En 1990, Michelle Douglas a contesté les politiques discriminatoires de l'armée canadienne, ce qui a conduit à leur renvoi en 1992. En 2016, Martine Roy, Todd Ross et Alida Satalic ont mené un recours collectif, rendant justice à des centaines de survivants de la purge.

Communautés bispirituelles : 35 ans depuis l'adoption du terme « bispirituel » par les dirigeants autochtones, 10 ans depuis le rapport final de la Commission de vérité et réconciliation et ses 94 appels à l'action, et 5 ans depuis la publication du rapport final sur les femmes, les filles et les personnes bispirituelles autochtones disparues et assassinées et ses 231 appels à la justice.
Rejoignez-nous pour des discussions et des performances incroyables avec les leaders de la communauté 2SLGBTQIA+ qui ont façonné notre histoire
