SUMMARY:International Pronouns Day
DESCRIPTION:This day aims to raise awareness of personal pronouns by encouraging education and mutual respect. It’s important to recognize and understand that sharing and using people’s chosen pronouns affirms human dignity. Using the wrong pronoun can be extremely hurtful\, damaging and offensive. Particularly to transgender and gender noncomforming people. \n\n\n\nUnderstanding pronouns\n\n\n\nInternational Pronouns Day refers to third person personal pronouns. These describe a person you are talking about. In English\, third person pronouns are often gendered\, which can lead to assumptions about someone’s gender identity. Examples of pronouns include he/him\, she/her or gender-neutral pronouns such as they/them. \n\n\n\nHow you can participate\n\n\n\nThere are a number of ways you\, a group\, or your community can become involved in International Pronouns Day: \n\n\n\n\nUse the #PronounsDay hashtag on social media.\n\n\n\nPost your own pronouns on social media to make it more commonplace.\n\n\n\nDiscuss the topic of pronouns during a staff or team meeting today. Be prepared to answer questions and share resource material.\n\n\n\nConsider watching videos about trans issues and pronouns for educational and informational purposes.\n\n\n\n\nRemember\, knowing and using a person’s correct pronouns makes people feel valued and respected. It fosters an inclusive environment and affirms their gender identity.

SUMMARY:National Coming Out Day
DESCRIPTION:October 10th\, 2022 is National Coming Out Day! It’s important to recognize that the purpose of National Coming Out Day can be acknowledged any day and every day. \n\n\n\nWe celebrate National Coming Out Day as an opportunity for those who want to come out to get the support they need and highlight the potential challenges associated with it. The reaction of others is\, unfortunately\, a common challenge that members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community often worry about.   \n\n\n\nThe reaction the 2SLGBTQ+ community wants is to be embraced with love\, support\, and understanding. But sometimes it has resulted in people getting kicked out of their homes\, excluded from their family\, or other hurtful and unsupportive situations.

SUMMARY:Franco-Ontarian Day
DESCRIPTION:The French language has been spoken in Ontario since the 17th century. The year 2010 represents the 400th anniversary of the French presence in this province\, which began with a series of explorations that eventually led to the mapping of the vast waterways of the interior\, the establishment of partnerships with First Nations and the first Francophone settlements in modern day Ontario. \n\n\n\nThe Francophone community of Ontario is the largest French-speaking community in Canada outside Quebec. French is one of the two official languages of Canada. In Ontario\, it is recognized as an official language in the courts\, in education and in the Legislature. \n\n\n\nBy proclaiming September 25 as Franco-Ontarian Day\, this Act officially recognizes the contributions of the Francophone community of Ontario to the social\, economic and political life of the Province and the community’s importance in Ontario’s society.
