As we enter Pride Month, we do so with celebration in our hearts and purpose in our actions. Pride is a time to honour the courage it takes to live openly and the resilience of the 2SLGBTQ+ community. It’s also a time to reflect on the road that brought us here – and the work that still lies ahead.

At NSCC, we are committed to fostering a safe, inclusive and affirming environment for every student, employee and community member. Everyone deserves to feel safe, seen and celebrated for who they are. There is no room for hate or bigotry. This month – and every month – we rise together: for justice, equity and for each other.

Take action, this month and beyond

  • Show your support by attending Pride events in your community.
  • Celebrate each other. Pride is about expression, joy and connection. Take this time to uplift one another and create space for everyone to thrive.
  • Practice active allyship. From workspaces to everyday conversations – challenge harmful language, stand up for inclusion and contribute to safer spaces for all.

This summer, the College will march in Pride parades across the province. Pride parades are a time to come together as a community to celebrate and advocate for genuine inclusion. Students, employees, alumni, and their family and friends are encouraged to join us and show their support for the 2SLGBTQ+ community. Stay tuned for more parade events in addition to the following:
