  • Coming Up!

    March 2026

    “History is Now” with Darrin Hagen – Monday, March 9 at 7 p.m.

    Join us at the Forum on the University of Alberta’s Augustana campus to listen to Darrin Hagen’s stories of his deep-dives into the research of the LGBTQ2S+ history of Edmonton, touching on details of the Pisces Bathhouse Raid, the Same-Sex Trials of 1942, the Delwin Vriend Supreme Court decision, and his own relationship with the Flashback archives. Not only do these stories shine a light on a community’s long march towards equality, but they act as a warning, showing how quickly human rights can be stripped away.

    See you there – no sign-up required! This event was made possible thanks to a generous grant from the Camrose Art Council & City of Camrose. Thank you for supporting us!

  • PRIDE MONTH!

    Camrose Pride Community
    invites you to share

    Moments of Pride

    Yearly Pride Events commemorate the pivotal 1969 Stonewall Inn Riots, often seen as the spark for LGBTQIA2+ rights movements in North America. The fight for our communities’ rights continues to this day, and the sacrifices of those that came before us allow us to live our lives with Moments of Pride.

    While we are not able to gather to celebrate our identities and our histories in person, Camrose Pride Community would like to invite you to share Moments of Pride in your life. Moments of Pride is a month long community driven event that sees LGBTQIA2+ peoples and our allies share our pride through the power of art.

    What is Pride? What is your story?

    We would like to ask our community for video submissions showcasing Moments of Pride, be they stories, poems, paintings, drag tutorials, dances, sports showcases, gardening suggestions, musical numbers or absolutely anything that showcases one’s pride to be an LGBTQIA2+ person or ally.

    These videos will be posted on the Camrose Pride Community Facebook page every Friday in June to share our experiences, our journeys, our triumphs, and our Moments of Pride with the world.

    If you are interested in taking part, please create a 3-5 minute video exploring the theme of Moments of Pride and share it via Google Drive or published YouTube link with camrosepridecommunity@gmail.com. Please include a short description of the video to be included with the video. Please also attach a signed Photo-Video-Audio Release Form, allowing us permission to post the video. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the Camrose Pride Community through Instagram, Facebook, or email.
