The Upper Grand District School Board will be celebrating Pride Month both at the board and school levels, throughout the month of June.
UGDSB schools and offices will raise the Pride Flag on June 1st , as a sign of support and celebration.
Along with raising the Pride Flag, the board will provide schools with intentional learning resources, that center on the contributions of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.
Highlights of the month will include videos featuring Olympian Mark Tewksbury, activists Jer Dias and Spencer Wright, authors Jennifer Lavoie and Nathan Burgoine and musician Kate Reid.
The board is also inviting students and staff to celebrate Pride by sending in pictures of their Pride sidewalk, driveway or window art displays.
