Founder's Circle

The Founder’s Circle was established in Spring of 2015 for the purpose of honouring the work and contributions of the original team that founded Simcoe Pride and coordinated the first Pride Week in 2012. In the future this Circle may become an advisor to the Board or another capacity in the organization.

The members of the Founder’s Circle include:

The Co-Founders
Mary Sue Robinet
J. Andrew Baker

Founding Committee
Sarah Fuller
Brandon Amyot

Externals/Volunteers/Planning Team
Laura McNevin
Angela Francis
Anne Marie Couture

Notable supporters also included Tina Beausoleil and Marlene Ham.

Founding Chair - Mary Sue Robinet

Mary Sue Robinet has lived in the Barrie area for almost 20 years. Prior to, and throughout being Chair, she maintained a strong relationship with the LGBT community. A hardworking mother, she noticed a need for community-based, family-centered events thus, she lead the creation of Fierté Simcoe Pride.  As Chair and a Director of Fierte Simcoe Pride, she created supportive relationships and helped spread the message of Pride and the work of FSP.  In creating these relationships, she solidified existing partnerships and formed new connections with Simcoe area supporters. It is her sincere hope that with Fierté Simcoe Pride, we will begin a long standing tradition of acceptance, friendship and support that will move the community forward to a stronger presence in Simcoe County.

Mary Sue was Simcoe Pride's founding Chair, who served from 2012 until 2015. We are forever grateful for her contributions, which extend beyond Pride, and we know that she will continue to do good.
