Rainbow Drag Brunch celebrates community and safe spaces

Staff writer kkellar@fortfrances.com In recognition of the 52nd anniversary of the Stonewall Riots and the birth of the Pride movement, one local organization is hoping to put on a one-of-a-kind event to celebrate and reunite a community that has been kept apart by COVID. The Binesiwag Centre for Wellness (BCW) and its Queers and Allies program are working with the town of Fort Frances and the Flint House to hold a special Rainbow Drag Brunch on June 26, both to mark the significant anniversary as well as to celebrate June being Pride. The brunch will feature local and area performers and a special mock-tail menu created for the safe and sober event.

Art to spark awareness of MMIWG2S+

Staff writer kkellar@fortfrances.com A new art installation in the area is aiming to spark conversation and awareness around an important social issue. In a partnership between Binesiwag Centre for Wellness and Seven Generations Education Institute (SGEI), a large piece of art in the form of a traditional jingle dancer is being installed on the grounds of SGEI’s Fort Frances campus and will remain there for the rest of the month, hopefully inspiring those who pass by to ask questions and further their understanding of the ongoing crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit (MMIWG2S+) individuals in Canada.

Correction – Fort Frances Times

6 May 2021 In last week’s edition of the Times, in “Local organizations band together for MMIWG Awareness month” it was incorrectly stated that Jessica Wilson worked for Fort Frances Tribal Area Health. Wilson is actually an employee of Binesiwag Centre for Wellness. The Times apologizes for any confusion this has caused.
