Rainbow Crosswalk in Wortley Village

Wortley Pride is working to raise money to get an inclusive rainbow crosswalk in the heart of Wortley Village.

Last year was the first Wortey Pride Celebration that took place in Wortley Village in London, Ontario, unfortunately, there was an incident that took place at this event that was fueled by hate.

As a Committee, we would like to put a rainbow crosswalk near the location of the altercation as a reminder that Love Wins and Hate has no home here or anywhere.

A rainbow crosswalk will also let members of our most vulnerable populations know that they are not alone and their community supports them.

Funds raised will help us to pay for our portion of the rainbow crosswalk installation.

We believe in collaboration and connection and seek to bring our community together on the grounds of celebrating identity, creativity, and solidarity. We advocate for queer safe spaces and foster spaces which empower our youth to explore gender diversity and inclusion. We continue to be a proud supporter of all-ages events, drag shows included and believe that hosting events which allow for gender exploration and creative expression for our youth builds an important foundation for supporting positive mental health and connections which ultimately lead to stronger, healthier, happier and more empowered community.
