Transgender Pride Flag Raising at QP

Today, we raised the Transgender Pride Flag at Queen’s Park in honour of Transgender Day of Remembrance.

This day is dedicated to remembering the transgender, non-binary, gender-diverse, and two-spirit individuals whose lives were taken by acts of hate and transphobic violence. It is a solemn reminder that every person deserves safety, dignity, and the freedom to live authentically without fear.

As we gathered, I spoke about the progress Ontario has made, the work still ahead of us, and the everyday acts of courage and allyship that build true inclusion. Policies matter — but compassion, understanding, and standing up for one another matter just as much.

May this flag remind us of those we have lost, and may it strengthen our resolve to ensure that every Ontarian can live, learn, love, and thrive as who they are.
