Borderland Pride is expressing satisfaction with the mandate giving to the federal Minister of Diversity and Inclusion and Youth.
President Doug Judson says it reflects a number of priorities that advance inclusion, safety and wellbeing of LGBTQ2 people.
Judson is also pleased to see a commitment to amend the Criminal Code to ban the practice of so-called ‘conversion therapy’.
Borderland Pride and other groups wrote the Prime Minister last month expressing the importance of keeping LGBTQ2 issues at the forefront of his cabinet.
