Description
Honouring and celebrating the Two-Spirit identity during Public Service Pride Week shows a commitment to reconciliation and inclusivity, which helps to build empathy and awareness throughout the 2SLGBTQIA+ communities.
This insightful event will celebrate the Two-Spirit identity and inspire meaningful discussion through an Ask Me Anything panel led by the original caretakers of the land we now call Canada.
Participants will gain a deeper appreciation for the diversity and resilience of Indigenous 2SLGBTQIA+ communities both within and outside of the public service.
This event is hosted in partnership with the Public Service Pride Network.
