🚨 Canada's "parental rights" protests today target children's & 2SLGBTQIA+ rights. We at Canadian Equality Consulting stand with counter-protesters. To all 2SLGBTQIA+ folks: You're seen, loved, and supported. #StandWith2SLGBTQIA+ #YouAreNotAlone
Despite protests across the country saying otherwise, let me be clear: Every child has the right to feel safe and seen. It’s a fundamental part of growing up.
This is about the safety and protection of all genders, all people, of all ages. Nothing more, nothing less.
This morning, so-called “save our children” protestors swarmed my vehicle. The level of hate was chilling.
It did not shake my resolve to stand with 2SLGBTQ+ kids & their families.
Calgary is a place of love & inclusion. Your hatred has no home here.

Today we opened our new cultural healing space to celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day. Elders Martin and Pam Heavy Head held a Pipe Ceremony to give the room a traditional name. The name is Kookonnooni in Blackfoot and in Cree, it is Kiikinow. It means Our House.
Excited to join the Board of @Discovery_House tonight. Thank you for a great AGM highlighting this organization’s amazing work. DYK that the CPS receives 2 domestic violence calls every hour (24 hrs a day)? And over 75% of domestic violence is not reported at all! #VAWG
