We welcome him into this new position!

NWT Pride presents QUEERLESQUE!!
NWT Pride is looking to bridge a knowledge gap for folks of all genders and sexualities! Shopping for the right outfit it tough! We face social and economic barriers, like binary clothing and gendered retail stores, which is why as a community we are swapping lightly used clothing and hosting skill workshops. There will be a drag makeup workshop, a basic makeup workshop for those who have not been socialized to know how to apply makeup, and a binding safety workshop. You don’t have to bring or take clothing, you can just come and learn and hang out! But folks are welcome to bring washed clothing to the swap as well as to try on and take clothing. All humans are invited to participate.
Check out this new music video by some amazing northern talent!
“You’re Not Alone” was created by the Department of Health and Social Services in collaboration with musicians from the NWT, with the goal to increase knowledge and reduce the stigma too often associated with mental health issues. The song is an original piece and sets a tone of togetherness and support as northerners are featured holding positive messaging related to mental health and community support. “You’re not Alone” evokes a sense of hope, optimism and compassion. The visual serves as a unique reminder that – like in the true spirit of the north – we are all in this together. As the song lyrics present to us; “You are not alone, open your door, this is your home”.
