College hosts online flag raising ceremony in honour of Pride Month

The following information was submitted to SooToday by the Sault College Students’ Union regarding this year's Pride Month flag raising ceremony:

Join us from the comfort of your computer or device as we raise the rainbow flag to kick-off a very unique Pride Month for 2020!

Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic and to do it the right, safe way, this year's flag-raising will respect social distancing protocols, meaning that we cannot gather as a group to celebrate or have the public join us in-person. Instead, Sault College Students’ Union invite everyone to visit our Facebook page, where we will be live-streaming this event from Sault College on Wednesday, June 10 at 9:30 am.

Brief remarks on the importance of showing that #PrideLivesHere will be provided by:

• Janice Beatty, Sault College vice president, Corporate and Student Services
• Ahmad Alkosani, Sault College Students’ Union president
