It was one for the history books for York Regional Police as Chief Eric Jolliffe raised the rainbow flag at headquarters, during the launch of Pride Month on June 1.
More than 100 members, community partners and senior leadership attended the inaugural event, serving as a sign of our commitment to inclusivity for everyone.
“Partnering with community agencies such as PFLAG York Region, York Pride Fest, My House and York Pride and with the creation of the LGBTQ Internal Support Network, we can continue to work together through educational and outreach opportunities to build a safe, welcoming and inclusive community,” said Chief Jolliffe.
YRP will be participating in several events throughout the month, as well as having a contingent of members in the York Region Pride Parade on June 20 and in the Toronto Pride Parade on June 28.
Show your pride and celebrate at the events in your community. Check out York Pride Fest for a calendar of events.
