Tolerance and diversity will be celebrated this June as Thunder Bay will have its first organized pride week celebration.
A group of community members came together in December of last year to form the Thunder Pride Committee; the organization will host a variety of activities June 6 to 12 to promote tolerance and acceptance of the city’s gay, lesbian, transgender and two-spirited residents.
As listed on the committee’s Facebook profile, Thunder Pride 2011 events will include an awareness breakfast, family picnic, outdoor concert, art show, a Pink Day in elementary and secondary schools, film festival, evening social events and related church services.
