Celebrating Pride Month
Each June, Pride Month honours the experiences and history of 2SLGBTQQIA+ and other identities and communities and celebrates the positive impacts 2SLGBTQQIA+ people have had around the world.
Mount Allison will celebrate Pride Month with a series of educational and inclusive events that are highlighted below. The Progressive Pride Flag will also be raised on campus in support of the 2SLGBTQQIA+ community.
