Lakehead U Celebrates Pride Central’s 10th Anniversary

On March 9, 1995, students at Lakehead University took a gigantic step forward and opened the doors of The Lesbian Gay Bisexual Centre, a student resource centre focused on educating people on issues of homophobia and creating a safe space on campus for all students, staff, and faculty. Ten years have passed since, and the legacy lives on in Pride Central.

On Wednesday, March 9, 2005, a reception will be held at 6:30 p.m. in Lakehead University's coffee house, The Study, to celebrate the achievements of the last ten years.

Members of the Media are invited to come and share in the celebration, interview past and present Pride Central Coordinators, and learn about the history of Pride at Lakehead University.
