Announcements

Thompson Rivers University Faculty Association stands proudly and in solidarity with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community as we witness an increase of anti-trans speech and actions across the country.

A series of hate rallies under the name #1millionmarch4children are being planned in communities across BC on September 20, including Kamloops. These rallies are a direct attack on the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) inclusive education, and the principles of equity and inclusion that are at the core of our association. 

We stand with those impacted by this hate. These rallies show no regard for the mental health of trans kids and teenagers harmed by these hateful actions, or the diversity of families in BC.

It is important for us as an association and as a community to take a stand against hate and bigotry in all their forms. TRUFA stands in solidarity with trans workers and communities in Kamloops, our province, and our country – on September 20th and always.
