West Side Pride Restores a Community Tradition with Upcoming Community Pancake Breakfast

The event will take place on Wednesday June 17th from 7am to 8am at the Stittsville Police Station, 211 Huntmar Dr. Admission is free and all members of the public are welcome. 

Recognizing the complex history and diverse perspectives surrounding relationships between law enforcement and queer communities, West Side Pride has worked closely with local officers to design an event centered on approachability, mutual respect and an active community presence. West Side Pride volunteers and local officers will be flipping pancakes, serving breakfast and engaging directly with attendees. 

"We believe that meaningful connection often starts with a simple conversation," says Marion Steele, Chair of West Side Pride. "This is about creating a safe and neutral space where our community members and local service providers can sit down together as neighbours, listen to one another and strengthen local bonds."

Members of the media are invited to attend for photo opportunities and interviews with organizers and community representatives.
