Queer History Month
Queer History Month in Edmonton is a celebration and recognition of the rich and diverse histories, cultures, and contributions of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. Throughout the month, Edmontonians come together to honor the resilience and achievements of queer individuals, while raising awareness about ongoing struggles for equality and inclusion. With learning experiences like educational talks, art exhibitions, a documentary film, and more, Queer History Month offers an opportunity to reflect on the past, celebrate progress, and inspire a more inclusive future for everyone. See our Queer History Month in Edmonton article to learn more about these events.
