Pride Flag Ceremony
CONTINUED FROM > PAGE 8
Councillor Hansen pre-
sided over the flag raising
ceremony in place of Mayor
Morrison and was accompa-
nied by Councillors Hoy and
Murdock.
In the proclamation of
Pride month, Councillor
Hansen touched upon how
fortunate citizens of Canada
are, in a country that pro-
tects persons from discrimi-
nation. Such protection
through the amended 1996
Canadian Human Rights act,
specifically including sexual
orientation as prohibited
grounds of discrimination.
"It is a privilege to repre-
sent Mayor and Council as
we raised the Pride flag at
Goderich Town Hall for the
very first time. Together we
honour the history, courage
and diversity of the lesbian,
gay, bisexual, transgendered,
transsexual, intersexed,
queer, questioning, two spir-
ited communities and their-.
allies," Councillor Hansen
stated at the Pride flag
ceremony.
"Pride promotes self -affir-
mation, dignity, equal rights
and visibility of the LGBTQ
community. As we com-
memorate June as Pride
month, we celebrate our
individual uniqueness and
affirm our rights as citizens
of this great nation and our
wonderful town."
Members of the Youth
Council and members of
the local LGBTQ commu-
nity were also in attend-
ance at the Pride Flag
ceremony.
"Huron County Pride is
thrilled and so proud that
Goderich is flying the Pride
flag over Town Hall for the
month of June. This symbol
of acceptance and inclusivity
is an amazing step in the
right direction," stated Kath-
leen Greer -Armour, Head
Chair of Huron County
Pride.
"Huron County Pride will
continue to strive to become
a beacon of hope for LGTBQ
people and their allies living
in Huron County. We believe
we can achieve this by con-
tinuing to provide education
and events, by renewing our
efforts for a Rainbow Cross-
walk and by projecting a
positive image of Huron
County Pride to our
community."
Huron County Pride also
recognized Pride Month
with a BBQ last weekend at
Courthouse Square in
Go.derich, and looks forward
to the London Pride Parade
July 30 in London.
