COVID-19

 
Since March we at Pride at Work Canada have opened our online member programming to anyone who wants to tune in. We’ve been constantly monitoring current events and working in partnership with other queer and trans organizations to provide the best possible support to the most vulnerable members of our communities.

In this spirit, we have decided to keep our strategy going and maintain free and open access to our member programming every Wednesday at 12:00 pm EDT until May 31, 2020. The current online events are part of our Webinar Series 2019-20, typically only available to employees of our National and Regional Partners, and usually ends right before our Pride season events.

Toronto, April 23, 2020.

Pride at Work Canada is committed to connecting communities, confronting stereotypes and bridging divides. While our live online programming is typically only available to employees of our National and Regional Partners, from now until April 30, 2020 all of the online engagements listed on our website’s events calendar will be free and available to anyone who wishes to tune in. So please share news of these English & French online events to anyone you think may be interested in regular online programming every Wednesday at 12:00pm EDT. Sign our newsletter to receive our updates to follow weekly by entering your email address in the field at the bottom of this page.

Ours is a community that understands being isolated from others, both physically and emotionally. But we have mustered the strength to find allies in unlikely places and family where there was none before. Above all else, remember that it is our resilience that defines us. Show compassion to those in distress at this time and please, extend kindness whenever you can. We will get through this together.

Please see our Executive Director’s message.
