The City of Chestermere officially declared June as Pride Month during the May 30 council meeting.

Pride Month celebrates and supports Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, Pansexual, Polysexual and additional sexual orientations and gender identities.

“Pride month brings visibility to the city’s 2SLGBTQ+ community in order to illuminate and celebrate human diversity, captivate the public, inspire and foster harmony and acceptance,” Colvin said.
