We all need a reminder once in a while!
North Bay Pride is putting on “Pride in Holidays” which will be shared through Facebook on December 23, 2020 @ 730pm.
It will be shared through various Pride Organizations across Canada. The hope is to remind folks, you are not alone over the holidays.
Jason Maclennan, Communications Director for North Bay Pride had the following to say:
“Every year around the holidays su***de rates go up. People struggle to get through them because they feel alone, or they have been disowned by their family. And this year, Covid 19 is playing a major factor on people’s mental health. We just want to remind you, that you are not alone. We have messages and songs from various people to share this reminder, some are well known, some you have never seen before. The message is the same, you are part of our communities and we will get through this together. Reach out for help if you need it and there is no shame in sharing your struggle with mental health.”
Clifford Hummel, CEO of North Bay Pride, followed up with the following, “Usually, prides focus in on pride season and work towards the following year. This year, we recognize that people are struggling especially with their mental health for so many reasons. Jason came to us and said, lets do something to remind folks they are not alone, and here we are. Amazing people sharing the same messages, with prides across Canada coming together to share the same message. What more could anyone want over the holidays.”
