Dear Reader,

I am thrilled to welcome you to the latest edition of our newsletter. This platform serves as a hub for information, celebration, and community engagement! With only one month of the semester to go, I want to say good job and good luck! This is a busy time but remember we are all in this together and being in a student residence is definitely an advantage. You always have a friend nearby! CA’s included!

We have lots of fun events coming up in June and would love to see you! Be sure to look out for posters and check our social media for more information!

Thank you for being an integral part of our community. Wishing you a wonderful month ahead!

Warm regards,

Bella Recine Community Assistant irecine@studenthousing.com

June is celebrated worldwide as Pride Month, a time dedicated to honoring the LGBTQ+ community's resilience, history, and ongoing struggle for equality.

Pride Month traces its origins back to the Stonewall Riots, a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations by members of the LGBTQ+ community against a police raid that took place at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village, New York City, in June 1969.

History facts: Toronto parade:

Toronto Pride has earned its reputation as one of the largest pride festivals in the world. This year the date is: June 30th, 2024
