• June is Gender and Sexual Diversity Pride Month in Saskatchewan.

• National Pride Season runs from June to September in Canada, and is an opportunity to recognize, celebrate, and stand in support of gender and sexually diverse identities.

• Learn all the different ways you can get involved below.

 

Observed in June around the world, Pride Month is when members, as well as friends and allies, of the 2SLGBQTIA+ community celebrate acceptance, equality, and the freedom to be themselves.

At SaskPower, we:

• raise rainbow flags at various SaskPower facilities

• participate in Pride parades

• support Pride events and festivities to honour and celebrate our employees, families, students, customers and clients of diverse gender and sexual orientations.

Born out of the Pride movement, Pride gatherings trace their beginnings to the first large-scale protests for 2SLGBTQIA+ rights in 1969 in the United States and 1971 in Canada. Pride Month and National Pride Season, which runs from June to September, honour the work and contributions of 2SLGBQTIA+ people, culture, and history, and raise awareness of issues affecting the 2SLGBQTIA+ community.
