Celebrate Your Awesome’s annual in-person pride and diversity celebrations have again had to be put on hold, due to the pandemic, but that didn’t stop the organization from creating something special for the community to enjoy.
In partnership with Theatre Orangeville, Celebrate Your Awesome (CYA) recently filmed a one-of-a-kind video for its virtual event, featuring all of the drag queens and musical acts that attendees of the group’s in-person celebrations had come to enjoy in 2018 and 2019.
The film is set for release on August 7 at 7 p.m. and the link will be posted to the groups Facebook Page: facebook.com/celebrateyourawesome on the day it airs.

Ever since Canada signed into law the decriminalization of homosexual acts between consenting adults in June of 1969, one day before the Stonewall Riots, the push for equal treatment of all Canadians, regardless of their sexual orientation, has steadily grown.
The month of June, in many ways, is of great significance when looking at the battles LGBTQ people fought to be treated equally and accepted in society. June is Pride month, which started out as a protest, but now, in Dufferin County and other communities across Canada, it is seen as a celebration of LGBTQ people and diversity.
