Screening of Pride vs. Prejudice: The Delwin Vriend Story

The Community Foundation believes that fostering conversations about equity and human rights strengthens our community for everyone. Delwin Vriend’s story shows how individual action can spark lasting change. We are proud to partner with the Prairie Pride Guild to host the screening of this important documentary.

• The documentary tells the story of Delwin Vriend, a lab technician at The King’s College in Edmonton who was fired in 1991 because of his sexual orientation.
• Vriend’s case led to a 1998 Supreme Court decision that strengthened equality rights across Canada. This was the first successful gay rights case at the Supreme Court and paved the way for future successful rulings including marriage equality.
• The film shows how one person’s courage can drive national change.
• Pride vs. Prejudice has won multiple Audience Choice Awards and screened at festivals around
the world.
