Pride Events that are Happening This Week in Toronto
As we all know, the city of Toronto plays a major role in inclusivity and diversity among its people. We have people from all around the globe who come to Toronto for a better quality of life, along with the LGBTQ+ community who need to be heard, understood and unified. In order to appreciate our LGBTs of Toronto, we hold a Pride month which is in this month where several events are held to observe, love and appreciate the LGBTQ+ community.
Here are 7 events that are happening in Pride this week in Toronto:
1) BIPOC Healing Circle

On June 8th at 6pm-7pm EDT on ZOOM, a BIPOC Healing Circle will be held for 2SLGBTQ+ members to share thoughts and emotions and for a safe and secure healing session amongst the members of the group. In accordance with Pride, these therapeutic sessions help to expand togetherness of the people and openness so that members of the community feel closer to one another and are able to face certain hardships they have dealt with in their lives concerning their sexual orientation with family, society and more.
2) Speak, Surge, Amplify: Speaking in Our Voices, in partnership with Harbourfront Centre
