This Week @ York

Pride Month. York celebrates and shows support to the 2SLGBTQIA+ community by learning about the history, culture, and contributions that they have made to Canadian society. The York community must continue to stand against homophobia and all forms of discrimination and racism to ensure that everyone feels a sense of belonging. Find out more about the events and celebrations happening across the campus by visiting the Pride Month website.
