Wear It Purple Day Celebration
On Thursday, our campus came alive with colour, music, and community spirit as we celebrated Wear It Purple Day—a day dedicated to fostering safe, inclusive environments for LGBTQIA+ youth.
The event featured a vibrant lineup of activities that brought students, staff, and community members together in solidarity and celebration. Local artist and singer-songwriter Jemzel set the tone with a heartfelt live performance, sharing her own experiences in this space and captivating the audience with her honesty and talent.
