Throughout the month of June, the Upper Grand District School Board will be celebrating Pride Month at the board and school levels and as a community.
Many students, staff, parents/guardians and community members identify as members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. As we begin Pride Month, we will be highlighting and celebrating the work that the UGDSB does year-round as a board, as well as highlighting the work of student and staff groups.
To kick-off Pride Month, it is the expectation that UGDSB schools and offices raise the Pride Flag on June 1 as a sign of support and celebration. Along with raising the Pride Flag, the board will provide schools with intentional learning resources that centre on the contributions of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and addresses homophobia, transphobia, biphobia and other forms of oppression by first person experts.
