Join CYAN and the Bow Valley Pride Network for a relaxed, welcoming evening focused on what allyship actually looks like in real life. In this open conversation, you’ll hear directly from members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community about their lived experiences, with honest reflections on what support felt like when it mattered, what missed the mark, and what helped them feel safe, seen, and respected - along with clear, practical ways you can support 2SLGBTQIA+ people in your everyday life.This event is for anyone who wants to show up better for others, whether you’re straight, cisgender, questioning, or part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community yourself. It’s beginner-friendly, low-pressure, and open to wherever you’re starting from.The evening will begin with a few light icebreakers to help everyone settle in and feel comfortable, followed by a facilitated panel conversation. You’ll hear personal stories, gain practical insights, and have the option to ask questions or simply listen. The session is designed to be interactive, but there’s no pressure to participate beyond your comfort level.Held at Stonewaters Spaces (306 Bow Valley Trail, next to Cam Clark Ford), the setting is calm, cozy, and designed for relaxed conversation, with comfortable seating throughout.
