Join us in celebrating, learning, and showing support

June is Pride Month in Canada—a time to celebrate the diversity and strength of 2 Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other sexually diverse (2SLGBTQ+) communities. It’s also a chance to reflect on the progress in advancing human rights and to continue building a more inclusive and equitable society. 

At Fleming, we’re proud to support our 2SLGBTQ+ students, staff, and faculty. Whether you’re attending a campus event, joining a workshop, or grabbing a Pride button, we hope you’ll take part in the celebrations happening this month.
