So sorry for the last minute post, but tonight's "Under the Rainbow" is cancelled due to sickness.

The Transgender Day of Remembrance was set aside to memorialize those who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. The event is held in November to honor Rita Hester, whose murder on November 28th, 1998 kicked off the “Remembering Our Dead” web project and a San Francisco candlelight vigil in 1999. Rita Hester’s murder — like most anti-transgender murder cases — has yet to be solved.

Well it's summer!  So the 'Under the Rainbow' group will take a break from meeting.  We will start back up in the fall on September  18th.

But in the meantime - HAPPY PRIDE month and for all of the ongoing celebrations here in Calgary with our Pride Parade that isn't until September.   St. David's will have walkers in the parade and a presence in the "Affirming Faith Network" booth that will be in the park.
