While summer is a time for some much needed self-care and family connection, our Rainbow Connections team were busy at Pride events, spreading the word about our three Queer social groups and GECO. They kicked the summer off with a more relaxed (safe space) tent at St Thomas' Canada Day celebrations and wrapped it up with Aylmer Pride in the Park. Excellent job at creating connections and creating spaces, team!
Once again, the Gender Equality Coalition of Ontario participated in the London Pride Parade. Our parade crew included many volunteers and Rainbow Connections queer social group participants. The outpour of love from parade attendees was overwhelming! Thank you to the generosity of GECO supporters, we were able to give away bubble wands and mini pride flags which gave spectators the opportunity to participate in the parade. People were excited and grateful to be able to wave their new flag safely and with pride!
This month, we are back in full swing! We started September off with an epic day at UWO O'Serves with fantastic first-year students who immersed themselves in London community through volunteering and learned about local organizations. GECO also looks forward to working with three students over the coming months. Welcome, students, and thank you for your enthusiasm!
