USask recognizes Pride Month
Each June, the University of Saskatchewan (USask) community gathers to recognize and celebrate Pride, something we strive to do throughout the year.
Our USask community is committed to supporting and uplifting each other on a continuous journey to ensure our living, working, learning and teaching spaces are inclusive.
Please join members of the USask community on Friday, May 31 at 1 PM in Nobel Plaza, in front of the Peter MacKinnon Building, for a flag-raising ceremony. The inclusive Pride flag and Two-Spirit flag will be raised in recognition of the beginning of Pride Month and demonstrates USask’s commitment to creating an environment that is safe and welcoming, where individuals feel supported, respected and valued.
There are many ways you can join the USask community this month and every month, in showing your support and extending your knowledge of supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ communities in our province, country and beyond. You can walk with the USask community in the Saskatoon Pride Parade taking place on June 22, or attend various other Pride events throughout the month, including in Regina and Prince Albert. Take some time to explore USask’s unique Neil Richards Collection of Sexual and Gender Diversity at the University Library and learn more about the history of Pride on the Prairies with an online exhibit featured by the Diefenbaker Canada Centre. Find more information about Pride activities at USask on spotlight.usask.ca.
Together we will create a brighter, more inclusive future. As a university with an ambition to be what the world needs, we share in our mission to make positive change and create an environment where everyone thrives.
Sincerely,
Peter Stoicheff
President and Vice-Chancellor
