LET’S was hired to supply a low sensory space at the Canada Pride Human Rights Summit. The summit was the 1st time it had been held by Vancouver Pride Society. We were proud to be a part of this event. There were many amazing speakers covering essential topics.
As advocates within our communities continually fight for human rights (both not to be rolled back and to progress), this summit had very serious discussions, potentially triggering conversations, and issues that lead to a variety of emotions. Having a low sensory space where people could take a moment to regulate emotions, take a moment to breath and reflect, hug a stuffy, read a book, colour, or chat with the hosts.
From Canada Pride’s website:
“More than a celebration of love and community, this event serves as a call to action, highlighting the critical importance of advocating for 2SLGBTQIA+ rights on a global scale. Over the span of ten days, Vancouver will be transformed into a hub of celebration of our Queer identities and the different intersections that make it so special.
This year, the celebration takes an important step with Vancouver’s inaugural Human Rights Conference, addressing the urgent challenges confronting the Queer community, here in Canada and globally. A staple of the Canada Pride celebration, the conference will bring together leading voices of our community who will share their knowledge and open the floor for attendees to exchange ideas. In these critical times, this conference holds heightened significance, providing a platform for essential discussions and advocacy.”
