Simcoe Pride Today - August 7

Today is the second last (ninth day) of Simcoe Pride Week 2015 (July 30 to August 8). Yesterday, we enjoyed a fabulous Arts and Culture Night at the Midland Cultural Centre; live performances, silent auction, and some delicious goodies from Ciboulette et Cie. Thank you to the artists, again, for all of your kind donations!

Join us for today for our second annual LGBT Health and Wellness Day at Georgian College in Barrie. Here, you will take part in the dynamic conversations on LGBT issues, learn from health care leaders in the community, and engage in interactive workshops that will prepare you for the future of LGBT inclusive health care, community and education.

In addition to workshops, there will also be a community fair showcasing organizations and businesses that operate in the LGBT community or as allies.

Workshops are taking place in H Building (Automotive Business School of Canada) in H214 and H208. The nearest parking is located at Lots 10, 11 or 12.

We are asking each attendee to give a $5 donation to go towards our esteemed presenters.

The day is from 12 to 5, and features workshops that include: Power, Privilege and Oppression (Huronia Transition Homes), Fostering a Trans Inclusive Environment (519 Church Street Community Centre), an engagement session, and a workshop about the new Health and Physical "Sex Ed" Curriculum (Ryan Van Schubert).
