The University of Lethbridge is kicking off Pride Week on campus with the annual raising of its Pride Flag.
Pride month is a celebration of the diversity of 2SLGBTQ+ communities, an acknowledgement of 2SLGBTQ+ history, and a continued recognition of the achievements of queer and trans individuals and groups. The University’s Pride Month: Return to Pride web page celebrates and honours the many voices of 2SLGBTQ+ students, staff and faculty.
