Pride is more than a celebration. It’s about safety, visibility, community, & being able to exist fully as yourself.

This month & every month, we stand with 2SLGBTQIA+ youth & communities. You deserve spaces where you are respected, heard, & supported exactly as you are.

[RCYBC @RCYBC]

Accessibility is part of dignity, participation, and belonging.

Children and youth should not face barriers to support, education, relationships, or care. Read how our office is making our services more accessible by visiting https://t.co/jIPnQF8hM2

Meaningful allyship requires us to support First Nations leadership, respect cultural protocols and remain committed to truth with humility, care, and resolve.

1/3: Five years after Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc brought global attention to the reality of unmarked burial sites at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School, RCY stands with First Nations across these lands in the sacred, careful and necessary work of seeking truth...

[RCYBC @RCYBC]

3/3: We also stand with the UBCIC in honouring the many generations of Indian Residential School Survivors and in condemning denialism that obscures the truth, deepens harm, and stands in the way of meaningful reconciliation.
