1/5 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: Today, in lieu of a daily in-person update to the media, I have issued a Sunday statement you can read in full here: canada.ca/en/public-heal…

2/5 June is Pride Month #Pride2020 – a time for LGBTQ2+ communities and their allies to come together to celebrate our diversity from a place of inclusion, empathy and love. #FreeTobeMe #Pride #Canada #LGBTQ2 #VirtualPride

3/5 With #COVID19 still active in 🇨🇦, the risk of the virus spreading remains, and large-scale in-person celebrations ↑↑ this risk. I applaud the actions of #Pride Festival organizers in #Canada in quickly organizing virtual festivities. #StayProudStaySafe

4/5 For example, @PrideToronto – one of the largest Pride parades in the world – is going virtual, highlighting local collectives, artists, makers, and performers on its online portal. Join in to celebrate #PrideSeason #Pride2020 #LGBTQ2 pridetoronto.com/virtualpride/

5/5 Given the #COVID19 crisis has exacerbated stressors known to impact #MentalHealth, virtual celebrations are an important opportunity for #LGBTQ2 individuals to connect and promote positive mental health. #VirtualPride #Pride2020
