Get ready to celebrate Pride in the federal public service!
Public Service Pride Week 2024: August 19 – 23
Mark your calendars for the upcoming Public Service Pride Week (PSPW), happening annually during the third week of August.
With a surge in discrimination against 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, particularly impacting transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse individuals, celebrating Pride in the public service carries more weight than ever.
During PSPW, we unite to honour, learn, celebrate, and acknowledge the invaluable contributions of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities and allies across the public service.
This year's theme, "Unity in Diversity," underscores our commitment to fostering inclusion and unity in the face of adversity.
If you're a federal organization hosting an event, let us know! Let's make PSPW 2024 even more impactful as we proudly unite in our diversity, display the Pride flag on government buildings and missions worldwide, sending a clear message: the Canadian public service is a welcoming and safe space for 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals.
