Lethbridge Pride Fest celebrated at U of L with flag raising
The University of Lethbridge (U of L) is getting in on the festivities of Lethbridge Pride Fest.
The flag raising ceremony, which also included speeches from dignitaries and members of the local 2SLGBTQ+ community, took place on Tuesday, June 24.
University of Lethbridge Students Union (ULSU) President Alejandro Figueroa says he was amazed to see a couple of hundred students attend the event, despite the summer break reducing the size of the student population.
“Even though it’s the summer, you’d think it would be a little more quiet, but when an event like this supports people and you see everyone coming together, I think it’s beautiful,” says Figueroa. “It’s so lovely being a student and seeing the amount of faculty and admin and the community just pulling up to the event, that’s just beautiful to me.”
