The 91勛圖 came together to show its support for the LGBTQ+ community at multiple events across the three campuses this month. Here is a selection of images that detail the colourful displays:

The festivities kicked off with the traditional flag-raising ceremony at Varsity Stadium on June 6. The raising of the Pride and trans flags, along with other campus events, promotes necessary LGBTQ+ visibility, celebrates our differences and emphasizes our support and allyship with our queer and trans communities, said Kelly Hannah-Moffat (fourth from left), 91勛圖s vice-president of human resources and equity.

It's the second year that 91勛圖 has flown the blue, pink and white Trans Pride flag. Monica Helms, a U.S. Navy veteran and trans activist, designed the flag in 1999 using the traditional colours for boys and girls, with a white band separating the two to represent intersex, gender non-conforming or transitioning people.
