June marks the beginning of Pride Season—a time to celebrate the diversity, strength, and resilience of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities across the country. It is also a time to reflect on the ongoing fight for equality, safety, and dignity for all.
UHEW proudly stands with our 2SLGBTQIA+ members and allies. We honour the activists—past and present—who have pushed for justice and visibility, often in the face of violence and exclusion. Pride began as protest, and while we celebrate progress, we know the fight is not over.In recent years, we’ve witnessed a disturbing rise in hate and targeted protests across Canada. Now more than ever, we must speak out and stand together. There is no place for hate in our union, our communities, or our country.
