Join PrideHouseTO volunteers, staff and friends on Thursday November 13th from 6 to 8PM for an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation at The 519, home to the PrideHouse Toronto Pavilion at the 2015 Pan/ParaPan American Games.
This second installment of our Café Series is titled "Investigating Inclusion: LGBTQ Sport in Toronto" and is focused on the notion of ‘inclusion’ in sport and the role of LGBT sport leagues and organizations in creating inclusive sport and recreation spaces.
Together, we will take a deeper look into the history and growth of Toronto's 40+ LGBTQ sport and recreation leagues and organizations as well as institutions such as the OutGames and Gay Games. We will discuss their role in creating LGBTQ-inclusive and -exclusive spaces and their success and challenges in developing inclusion within LGBTQ communities.
About the Café Series:
Amid the excitement and anticipation of TORONTO2015, it could be easy to forget the important policy and advocacy issues that LGBTQ people face every day in, through and because of sport. The Café Series is one of the ways that PrideHouse Toronto is working to ensure space and opportunities for critical and challenging conversations on key issues shaping the reality of sport today.
The PrideHouse Toronto Café Series is a bi-monthly conversation that brings thought-leaders and experts to the PrideHouse Pavilion for discussion, debate and capacity building with the PrideHouse Toronto Leadership Team, volunteers and the broader community.
Join us in January 2015 for "Our Games on Native Land: Indigenous Communities and Multi-Sport Games", a conversation on the ways in which major and multi-sport games impact and engage indigenous communities in Canada and around the world.
