Activity Details
Goals
  • Celebrate diversity and promote inclusivity within the community.
  • Support community partner initiatives through fundraising efforts.
  • Maximize outreach and engagement through collaborative promotion and logistics coordination.
  • Ensure event decisions align with the values and needs of the LGBTQ2S+ community.
  • Break down barriers for LGBTQ2S+ as it relates to Town program and healthy active living activities.
Celebrating Inclusivity
We are committed to implementing additional measures to integrate recommendations from You Can Play and York Pride. This includes showcasing visual displays of the pride flag and promoting community partners within Queer spaces. The event increases awareness and visibility of LGBTQ2S+ peoples within the Aurora community. By hosting a public event that celebrates LGBTQ2S+ pride, the organizers help to normalize and destigmatize LGBTQ2S+ identities.
Empowerment & Impact
By promoting diversity, inclusivity, and acceptance, the event contributes to the broader social justice movement. It challenges discrimination and prejudice, promoting a more equitable and compassionate society. "Aurora PRIDE Luau" brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds to connect, share experiences, and build supportive networks. It strengthens community bonds and fosters a sense of unity among residents.
