LGBTQ+ Roundtable

Posted by Camrose Pride on in Uncategorised 0 Comment

From our friend Justin Reinke

Hi friends! I hope the summer is treating you well!

I’m thrilled to be assisting Tim Cartmell, city council candidate for Ward 9, in engaging the LGBTQ+ community during his campaign! Tim is an ally to the LGBTQ+ community and he wants to have an informal roundtable discussion with LGBTQ+ people to better understand the municipal issues that affect the LGBTQ+ community in Edmonton! If you live in Edmonton and in Ward 9 (Terwillegar-Rutherford-MacEwan area), that is a big plus, but not required! If you are willing to commute to Edmonton, you are more than welcome to join! The more perspectives we can get, the better!

The roundtable will take place on Thursday August 17th 7-9pm. The location is TBA, but will be in Edmonton! If you’re interested in attending, please fill out this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc6dhi82WM11VrPJs2U4Mgnhb_HQY1dk_EFECcE7kodS5p5nQ/viewform?usp=send_form

I’m using the form to gauge the interest in order to book an appropriate venue, as well as to update those interested on new information! So please make sure you register if you want to come! If you have a guest/friend/support person that also wants to attend, please have them also fill out the form! Please pass this on to anyone you think would be interested!

I hope to see some of you then!
