Celebrate Pride, Progress and Belonging at Medavie

This month, we join the global community in celebrating Pride Month. It’s a time to honour and support the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, their achievements, and the progress made towards inclusion and acceptance.
Pride Month is celebrated annually to commemorate the Stonewall riots that took place in 1969 in New York City. The riots were a pivotal moment in 2SLGBTQIA+ history, sparking a wave of activism that led to the modern gay rights movement.
At Medavie, we are continually working to foster a diverse and inclusive culture at Medavie― one that is true to our values and respects and celebrates our differences.
This year’s Pride Month activities at Medavie are centered around the theme “Celebrating Pride and Progress – You Belong, Take Pride in Being You.”
Here are a few ways you can join the celebration:
- Stories of Pride and Progress: Let’s read and learn from the stories of Pride and Progress shared by our colleagues and posted on MHS Messenger throughout the month.
