Brief description of the event:
Kick off Pride at George Brown on Tuesday June 2nd! This high-energy event is your opportunity to celebrate, get connected, and commit to action. Together, we ensure we won’t stop advancing 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusion.
The event involves a few different areas around the atrium: a performance and mix and mingle space in the main area, tabling around the edges, a photo booth station, craft area, and board for sharing your commitments to 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusion.
