New Youth Programming
UR Pride attended a Regina High School Peer Support retreat where Lisa, Caitlyn and Shannon presented queer issues and information about the UR Pride Centre. Some feedback we received was the need for queer-friendly space for youth. To address this need, UR Pride is introducing a new Youth Program to its list of services.
This program includes turning the UR Pride Lounge (Rm 225 Riddell) into a youth-only space every Wednesday from 4 to 6pm. We’re inviting all youth to come and hangout with us. We indent to provide activities as well as the opportunity to talk about their issues, allow for questions, and even assist with planning GSAs. In the next week UR Pride will be rolling out posters to Regina area high schools to promote the space. If you’d like to inquire about our Youth Programming or wish to request posters, please contact us (contactus@urpride.ca).

Open Mic Night
UR Pride will be hosting a very special November 12th edition of its Open MicApaloozaStockFest Extravaganza Night in the Institut Francais Rotunda from 7pm to 10:30pm. The Rotunda is located in the Language Institute building at the U of R. This free event will feature several local artists and musicians and is open to everyone. If you feel like performing, we encourage you to send Leah Keiser, our host, and email with your name and information so we can add you to the set list. We look forward to seeing you all! (Email Leah at chair@urpride.ca).
