Ever Sick! Consulting is proud to partner with the Nishnawbe-Gamik Friendship Centre for the Two-Spirit & Indigenous LGBTQIA+ Awareness & Celebration Day 2026 on March 19th (in recognition of Spring Equinox on March 20th)!
Since 2021, the Two-Spirit team at Community-Based Research Centre – CBRC has been advocating for the creation and recognition of an annual Two-Spirit and Indigenous LGBTQQIA+ Celebration and Awareness Day, to be held each March in alignment with spring equinox.
The goal of the recurring awareness day will be the centring and celebration of the radiance and diversity of Two-Spirit identities, expression, and experience across Turtle Island. Indigenous-led organizations across so-called Canada are invited to join us in the proclamation of spring equinox as Two-Spirit and Indigenous LGBTQQIA+ Celebration and Awareness Day by hosting local events, demonstrations, and celebrations in solidarity with satellite events happening across the country.
This event is free to the public.
Allies, it’s our time to stand in solidarity with our Two-Spirit friends. Let’s uplift the voices of Two-Spirit and Indigenous communities.
Come together in a safe, welcoming space where ALL are embraced. We’re honouring our identities, cultures, and communities with:
