WHEREAS during Pride Month, the world’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Intersex, Queer, Questioning, Two Spirit communities (LGBTQ2St) and Allies come together to celebrate diversity and protest for the freedom to be themselves: to overcome prejudice, for inclusive policies and laws: and for the right to be accepted for who they are; and,
WHEREAS although many strides have been made forward to educate peoples bias, there is still much work to be done in correcting adversity towards the LGBTQ2St communities; therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Corporation of the Municipality of Powassan does hereby proclaim JUNE 2025 as Pride Month and encourages residents to commit to continuing awareness, inclusion, and acceptance for all members of our community regardless of gender identity, race, age, and beliefs.
