Together in Pride
This month is about visibility, safety, and joy. However you choose to take part—in a march, a park, a conversation, or a quiet moment of reflection—know that you are seen and supported. At Vibrant, we are committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and welcoming space for everyone. Pride Month is a reminder of the ongoing journey toward equity, visibility, and belonging for 2SLGBTQ+ communities. We honour the diversity of identities, experiences, and voices that make our community stronger. Inclusion is not just a value—it’s a practice we carry into our care, programs, and relationships every day.
From all of us at Vibrant Community Health, Happy Pride! 🏳️🌈
