Held during LGBTQ+ History Month and Coming Out Weekend, this event will bring generations together to explore the people, stories and moments that have shaped the 2SLGBTQIA+ community both here in Thunder Bay and across Canada.
Young people will take the stage to share their experiences, perspectives and hopes for the future. Their stories will be joined by a keynote presentation and workshop from Michael Sobota, a longtime Thunder Bay community advocate.
