Supporting Pride Organizations Across Canada with Communications and Media Relations Strategy
Amidst rising hate against 2SLGBTQI+ communities, Pride organizations in Canada have faced increased opposition, discrimination, and challenges.
CASE STUDY
As the 2023 summer pride season began, Fierté Canada Pride received a large number of questions from their members related to communications and media issues, particularly on how Prides can navigate communications in this increasingly challenging environment.
In response, Fierté Canada Pride is creating a new series of free drop-in ‘Communications and Media Advisory Office Hours’ hosted by Kathryn from LeBlanc (& co.) during the summer 2023 Pride season.
Everyone deserves to feel respected and safe when they go to Pride, but unfortunately the current climate is challenging for Prides — and for all 2SLGBTQI+ communities. LeBlanc (& co.) is proud to play a role in equipping Prides across Canada to grow their capacity in media and communications.
