AFFIRM is a virtual 5-session weekly counselling group for PDSB students who identify as Two Spirit and LGBTQIA+.
This group will run from July 23 to August 20, every Tuesday from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Register today: https://t.co/08uXFhr921
Today we are encouraged to wear #pink & stand in solidarity with the 2SLGBTQQIA+ community to continue fighting for equality & acceptance, and against discrimination, hatred & intolerance.
Tomorrow is International Day of Pink, some schools will recognize the day on Apr 11 and participate in a board wide event.
We stand with the Two-Spirit LGBTQIA+ community and will continue to speak up against bullying, discrimination, and all forms of homophobia & transphobia.
Our words and actions matter. In times of increasing Two Spirit and LGBTQIA+ hate, choose love. Let Two Spirit and LGBTQIA+ students know that hate has no place in schools.
It is more important than ever that we work to establish inclusive and safe communities and schools for 2SLGBTQ+ students, educators and parents.

Any actions or events that seek to undermine the rights and dignity of the 2SLGBTQ+ community must be denounced. #onpoli#onted
