Join U of T in the Pride Parade

Sat, 14 Jun 2008 11:03:11 -0400

Start: Jun 29 2008 - 1:00pm

End: Jun 29 2008 - 5:00pm

Marching is way better than watching.

Join us on Rosedale Valley Rd. as we prepare ourselves to march in the Pride Parade.

Pride Toronto's theme this year is "Unified," so the UT Pride Committee has decided to follow that theme by dressing as a sports team, or a Homecoming King or Queen. Fuck with gender. Come adorned in your athletic best (a jersey will be provided) and march - not just for fun, but for change. Joining us again is Samba Elegua, a local ensemble that will surely get you in the mood to march.

*1:00pm SHARP! Access to Rosedale Valley Rd. will be restricted after 1:00pm. You cannot join the parade after it has started.

Location:
Rosedale Valley Rd. --- Enter via Bayview or from Park Rd. (just off of Church St.)

Positive Space Committee meeting

Tue, 12 Feb 2008 17:53:53 -0500

Start: Feb 14 2008 - 12:00pm

End: Feb 14 2008 - 1:30pm

Positive Space challenges the patterns of silence that continue to marginalize lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender, transsexual and queer students, staff and faculty even in environments with anti-discriminatory and inclusive policies. The most visible symbol is an inverted rainbow triangle sticker that you will see in many places around campus.

U of T's Positive Space Committee was born in 1995 when a group of faculty, students, and staff formed an ad hoc group to discuss an initiative to increase visibility and talk about sexual diversity. The committee was created through informal networking throughout the campus. Meetings were held to discuss the issues and generate ideas.

Join the committee for their next meeting. All welcome.

South Dining Rm. 2nd flr., Hart House
