April 9-10 is Eid al-Fitr. Many Muslims in Canada celebrate Eid al-Fitr (also known as Id al-Fitr or Eid ul-Fitr) on the first day of Shawwal in the Islamic calendar, which marks the end of Ramadan and the start of a feast that lasts up to three days in some countries. #EidAlFitr

Seeing diverse faces, voices, and stories in media and society validates the experiences of all individuals, fostering inclusivity and empowering everyone to believe that they are not hidden.

This year's #Kwanzaa celebration was one to remember. Our Harambee team hosted an event focused on food, culture, music and the 7 principles of Kwanzaa. A big thank you to @enbridgegas for sponsoring this event.

Today we take a moment to reflect and remember the people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence #TransgenderDayofRemembrance

[OACAS @our_children]

On #TransDayOfRemembrance, we remember those who have died because of transphobia. The transgender community endures ongoing discrimination and violence & we recognize that it can have far-reaching impacts on children/youth. We stand with those who fight for equity & justice.

[facswaterloo @facswaterloo]

#TransDayOfRemembrance is a day to honour lives lost due to ignorance and hate against transgender or gender non-conforming people.

This day, take a moment to reflect on the ongoing fight for equality within the trans and non-binary community.
