This year, CEDI is combining two important annual vigils – Transgender Day of Remembrance and White Ribbon Day. The CEDI Fall Vigil: Remembering, Honouring and Acting for Gender Justice invites our community to come together in reflection and solidarity, working toward a campus where everyone can live and thrive, regardless of gender, gender identity or expression, or sexual orientation.
It takes place Tuesday, November 25, from 1-2 p.m., at Canada Life Village Square.
We invite staff, students, and community members to submit questions for Mardi in advance at edievents@FanshaweC.ca. Please submit them by Friday, November 21, for consideration. Register for the event.
