Today (Monday, March 20) is Two-Spirit and Indigenous LGBTQIA+ Celebration and Awareness Day, a time to honour the Two-Spirit trailblazers that came before us and celebrate the radiance and diversity of Two-Spirit identities, expression and experience. Today we reflect on the work that has occurred and continues to be done within the Two-Spirit movement across Turtle Island. Today has also been proclaimed as Two-Spirit and Indigenous LGBTQIA+ Celebration and Awareness Day by the government of British Columbia, as advocated for by the Two-Spirit Team at CBRC.
Folks who are located in what is colonially known as Vancouver, are invited to join us today as the Two-Spirit Program at CBRC hosts a “Bannock and Tea” event at Junction (1138 Davie St.) from 2 pm to 7 pm PT. The celebration will amplify Two-Spirit voices and artists, featuring live entertainment from local Indigenous artists. It will be an opportunity for discussion, expression, and celebration amongst our Two-Spirit relatives that will hopefully be the start of similar gatherings across the country. Everyone is welcome.
