PRIDE CENTRAL is a service centre for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, two-spirit, and queer students, but our services are available to all students and community members. We work towards ending discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. We encourage you to use Pride Central as a safe and supportive environment where you can engage with your own identity, connect with others, and flourish as a healthy, informed person passionate about social justice.

Pride Central offers a variety of social services, including a resource library of books, movies, music, leaflets, magazines, and zines, all of which deal primarily with sexual diversity, gender identity, and queer issues. Our space also features comfy couches, computers for public use, and a TV for watching videos. The centre's staff provides peer support and referral to on and off campus services you might benefit from. We also organize social events, as well as develop and deliver educational workshops on request. Through various strategies, we advocate for the visibility of queer-friendly and queer-identified messages at LU and facilitate access to alternative media and community events with a queer focus.

Throughout the school year, our activities include awareness campaigns, discussion groups, and movie nights. Our biggest event is a week-long queer pride celebration called Pride in the North. If you want to help make our services and activities successful, you can join us as a volunteer. Otherwise, you're free to enjoy everything Pride Central has to offer as part of your university experience.
