June is Pride Month! As we strive toward building healthy communities here in Richmond County, we know that it begins with inclusion. When all of our neighbours can show up as their truest selves, it lays the foundation for all of us to build good lives.

This Pride month, we hope you'll take the chance to celebrate the 2SLGBTQIA+ people in your life, and also learn about the work that's been done to protect the rights we all have today.

Here's a few great places to start:
