Brock marked the beginning of Pride Month with the raising of the University’s all-inclusive flag on June 6. Organized by the University’s Office of Human Rights and Equity, with support of Brock Pride and Pride Niagara, the flag-raising represents a show of solidarity with the Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer (2SLGBTQ+) communities on campus and in the community.

The second annual Speaking With Pride professional development event took place following the ceremony in the Scotiabank Atrium, featuring a keynote speech by Brock McGillis, a former Ontario Hockey League goaltender and the first openly gay men’s professional hockey player.
