Stephenville Crossing: Join us for a free movie screening in partnership with the National Film Board of Canada to celebrate pride month! We’ll be showing the documentary film Parade: Queer Acts of Love & Resistance, which has a 96 minute runtime. Please note that this film discusses anti-2SLGBTQ+ violence. For more information about the film, read below:

“Parade: Queer Acts of Love & Resistance captures pivotal moments that sparked Canada’s 2SLGBTQI+ movement, honouring the activists and elders whose resistance led to the rights we have today. Through rarely seen archival footage and first-person accounts, audiences are brought to the frontlines of the struggle. From police raids to early drag shows, community organizing to the House of Commons—the complex history of the country’s diverse communities is brought to life. Key milestones illustrate the power of taking it into the streets and underscore how easily the rights we’ve fought for can be revoked, making the documentary essential viewing for all Canadians.”
