2020 Pride Season
Pride at Work Canada/Fierté au travail Canada will celebrate PRIDE with you, our LGBTQ2+ communities and our National and Regional Partners from coast to coast this summer. We have been working on several virtual events to celebrate and connect people from all provinces and territories over June, July and August. Some of them are open to the general public, some are for our members, being an exclusive opportunity just for employees of Pride at Work Canada’s National and Regional Partners.
