Main Branch Library
Presented by Sudbury Indie Cinema
“Track Two” is a documentary made in 1982, which looks at the Toronto bathhouse raids and the forces working against the election of an openly gay municipal candidate. The film documents the growth of Toronto’s gay community, including the infamous “Operation Soap” where the Toronto Police raided gay bathhouses, and the subsequent protests and positive growth.
After the film, a panel will reflect on the diversity of opinion and of strategies of dealing with police now in 2018 in Sudbury.

Families LGBTQ: Dîner-Causerie
Présenté par le Centre de Santé Communautaire du Grand Sudbury (CSCGS)
“Les Familles LGBTQ : Quand le Modèle Hétéro n’a Rien à Voir”
Il existe beaucoup façons de vivre en famille, mais jusqu’à présent, certaines sont moins acceptées que d’autres. Malgré les années de lutte et le travail monumental pour transformer les mentalités, les familles qui ne correspondent pas au modèle «un papa, une maman et des enfants» vivent toujours des défis sur le plan social, émotif et autres.
L’objectif de ce dîner-causerie est d’écouter le témoignage de trois familles sudburoises qui ne correspondent pas au modèle hétéro afin de prendre conscience des défis qui les entourent et qu’ils vivent au quotidien. Des solutions? On en jasera….
Soyez des nôtres!
Inscription obligatoire. Date limite pour s’inscrire : 9 juillet 2018

Échange de vêtements - Clothing Swap (18 and under)
Présenté par La Slague et le Carrefour Francophone de Sudbury et Sudbury Pride
La Slague du Carrefour Francophone et Fierté Sudbury Pride t’invitent à trouver ton style. Que ce soit pour ta graduation ou pour la vie de tous les jours, voici la chance de t’exprimer avec les vêtements qui te feront te sentir bien.
OK, cool, mais comment ça fonctionne cette histoire? Tu peux apporter des vêtements à donner, mais tu peux aussi arriver les mains vide. L’important est que tu repartes avec les nouveaux vêtements que tu auras choisis!
L’activité est gratuite et bilingue. Nous t’assurons un endroit sécuritaire et joyeux.
Comme le dit si bien Virginia Wolf “« Vaines bagatelles qu’ils semblent être, les vêtements ont, disent-ils, un destin plus important que de nous tenir chaud. Ils changent notre vision du monde et le point de vue du monde sur nous. » La découverte de ton style nous tient à coeur.
Pour toutes donations, contacte Claudine au 705 675-6493 poste 206

La Slague, Carrefour Francophone, and Fierté Sudbury Pride invite you to find your style. If you need clothing for graduation or your everyday wardrobe, here is your chance to express yourself with clothes that feel good!
Ok, cool but how does it work? You can bring clothing to donate to the swap but you can also come without clothing. What’s important is that you don’t leave empty-handed!
This is a FREE and BILINGUAL event. We also assure a safe and pleasant space.
As Virginia Wolf said “Vain trifles as they seem, clothes have, they say, more important offices than to merely keep us warm. They change our view of the world and the world’s view of us.”
For all clothing donations, please contact Claudine at 705 675-6493, ext 206

PRIDE MARCH
Presented by Fierté Sudbury Pride
Fierte Sudbury Pride is excited to promote this year’s Pride Parade that will be starting at Memorial Park AT 2:00 PM and will route throughout downtown Sudbury. Come celebrate the Generations of Pride by joining us in our annual Pride March! Wear your brightest colours, bring your best signs, cheer your loudest cheers, and get ready to show your pride!
With the election of the new PC government on the platform that they will be changing the sex education curriculum back to the outdated 1990’s version, completely eliminating queer sex education in our schools, we’ll be promoting the messaging “Keep the Sex Education Curriculum the way it is!” so that our queer youth can make more informed, safer and better decisions when it comes to their sexual health rather than having to live in shame.
We encourage others to promote this message with us. For more information on how we can coordinate this message together please contact Fierte Sudbury Pride at sudburypride@gmail.com
