As
a
result,
many
pride
events
around
the
world
are
held
in
june
to
recognize
the
impact
lgbtq
people
have
had
june.
1970
was
the
first
gay
pride
parade.
However,
it
was
august
that
the
first
pride
parade
occurred
in
canada
in
1978
in
vancouver
this
week
marks
pride
week
in
vancouver
and
notably
for
myself
north
shore
pride
week.
Normally,
I
would
have
proudly
attended
the
pride
at
the
pier
events
at
the
shipyard
and
listen
and
dance
to
the
great
entertainment
and
visit
the
educational
booths.

I
also
appreciate
the
presence
of
the
non-profits
like
family
services,
the
north
shore
and
north
shore
neighborhood
house,
who
provide
those
in
the
lgbtq
plus
community
and
their
families
with
health
and
support
year
round
a
couple
of
years
ago,
my
friend
and
constituent
gina
hola
zorowicz
produced
a
documentary
nominated
for
a
leo
award
on
crow's
transformati
transformation,
the
story
of
a
successful
teen
model
who
transitioned
into
a
boy
who
is
now
a
world
renowned
trans
model
who
has
walked
the
catwalks
of
paris
and
milan
but,
more
importantly,
his
story
depicts
his
transition
and
how
the
relationships
between
his
friends
and
family
evolved
during
this
process
and
how
love
and
acceptance
is
so
important
for
youth
who
are
questioning,
love
and
acceptance
is
important
to
us
all,
mr
speaker,
and
in
particular,
for
everyone
from
the
lgbtq
community
and
their
families.
