Goodlife

At GoodLife Fitness, we strongly believe in creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all members of the community. This includes the LGBTQ2+ community, who often face unique challenges when accessing fitness facilities and services. We have developed training for our Associates that focus on issues specific to the LGBTQ2+ community, such as gender identity, expression and sexual orientation, while introducing this year our Allyship learning. In addition, we have taken steps to ensure that all of our facilities are welcoming to all individuals. This includes providing options for universal change rooms and washrooms and offering a variety of fitness classes and personal training options that are inclusive and welcoming to individuals of all backgrounds and abilities. We recognize that diversity is a reality, while equity and inclusion are ongoing processes, and we are committed to continually improving our policies and practices to better serve the needs of all communities. To this end, we regularly partner and consult with community members and advocates to ensure that our policies and initiatives are responsive to the needs and concerns of those we serve.

This community inspires us and we are honoured to return as a gold sponsor of the 2025 pride & remembrance run.

Starbucks

There are still a lot of the discrimination and prejudice that 2SLGBTQ+ people continue to face. Approximately 1 in 5 hate crimes target someone in the 2SLGBTQ+ community. There is a rapid increase in violence against 2SLGBTQ+ people in many countries, and Canada is no exception.  

At Starbucks Canada, Pride is a joyful display of solidarity and support. We at Starbucks are celebrating it by creating awareness and helping organizations that offer assistance to the 2SLGBTQ+ community through volunteering w/ Canadian organizations who fight for equal rights, who demand an end to hate crimes and violence, and who provide assistance to those in need.

 

The Pride and Remembrance Association would like to thank all of our incredible sponsors!
