These celebrations are important because they recognize the achievements and ongoing struggles of the 2SLGBTQIAP+ community, advocate for equality, and foster a sense of community.

In Regina Public Schools, it is important that we demonstrate our Shared Values, including our values of belonging and respect. As a school division, we continue our commitment to ensuring that 2SLGBTQIAP+ staff, students, families, and allies feel included, protected, and respected.
