Canada is home to approximately 1 million people who are 2SLGBTQI+, and approximately 16.5% of them are 55+.


As we celebrate Pride Month 🌈, it's important to recognize and honor senior 2SLGBTQI+ community members. These seniors have paved the way for the freedoms and rights we enjoy today!


2SLGBTQI+ Seniors have lived through significant social changes, and their stories of perseverance and pride are an important part of our collective history. This Pride Month  , let's come together to celebrate the diversity and strength of all ages, together we can create a world where everyone is free to be their true selves.


Pride has no age limit! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️


Below are EAPO resources everybody can use to support and learn more about 2SLGBTQI+ Seniors.
