Thompson is getting ready to celebrate Pride with food, community, and a whole lot of support.

 

Iris Chan, Education and Training Coordinator with the Canadian Mental Health Association Manitoba and Winnipeg Thompson office, says the annual Pride Barbecue is happening June 19th from noon to 2 p.m. at the Boys and Girls Club of Thompson.

 

Chan says the event is all about bringing people together, celebrating diversity, and showing support for members of the Pride community.

 

 

Organizers are still accepting donations of hot dogs, hamburgers, buns, chips, and soft drinks, and volunteers may also be needed to help serve food during the event.

 

Anyone interested in helping out can contact the Boys and Girls Club at 204-778-7575, extension 1.
