Pride strong and growing in rural Saskatchewan, community leaders say
While the province’s big city Pride events are well-known and regularly attract thousands, community leaders outside of Regina and Saskatoon sayIt’s an important trend to preserve, they say, with some explaining to Global News that feelings of isolation and loneliness can be exacerbated when living in a rural community.Pride Co-chair LJ Tyson.
Prince Albert Pride kicked off its Pride week activities this past weekend in part with the introduction of a new safe spaces campaign.Over the coming months the organization hopes to begin distributing pride window decals to local businesses which can prove they’ve made efforts to create a more inclusive and welcoming environment for the LGBTQ2 community, such as by having gender-neutral washrooms.
“Even just visiting bigger city centres, you know there’s that general feeling of more diversity and accepting ways of life,” they said. Organizer Sheldon Gaetz told Global News that he too has felt the need to move to a larger city in the past.Gaetz hopes that embracing Pride on the reserve can help others feel like they have a choice.
