Pride speakers’ event focuses on raising awareness
Education, politics and Indigenous culture were among the topics discussed at a special Pride-themed speakers’ event at North Battleford Library, Sunday.
The event concluded a week of celebrations coordinated by the Battlefords Pride Week organizing group of volunteers.
Four guests took to the podium to give their views on what Pride means to them – to offer information, and raise awareness about the need for understanding related to LBGTQ issues, to about 25 people attending the event.
The speakers included Indigenous elder Marjorie Beaucage, Saskatoon-Fairview MLA Vicki Mowat, slam poetry artist Elise Pallagi, and advocate Fran Forsberg contributed to the forum discussion.
