International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia
The International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia is a global initiative aimed at raising awareness of and combating discrimination against the LGBTQ2S+ community, including the ongoing discrimination, violence and marginalization faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex people, and all of those with diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions.
We wish to acknowledge this land on which Branksome operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and go to school on this land.*
*The Land Acknowledgement may evolve as we honour our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation in partnership with Indigenous communities.
