Proclamation proclaiming Month of June as Pride Month
WHEREAS the Township of Ryerson affirms its commitment to fostering a community where diversity is embraced, and all individuals-regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression-are valued, respected, and supported; and
WHEREAS Pride Month is an opportunity to celebrate the contributions, resilience, and identities of LGBTQ+ individuals, while also acknowledging the ongoing efforts toward achieving full equality, inclusion, and protection under the law; and
NOW THEREFORE, the Township of Ryerson, does proclaim the month of June as Pride Month and encourage all residents to recognize and celebrate the strength, diversity, and contributions of the LGBTQ+ community, and to continue working together toward a more inclusive and equitable society for all.
Let this month serve as both a celebration of progress and a reminder of the work still to be done.
