BELLEVILLE – The crosswalks in front of Loyalist College have been repainted in support of the LGBTQ+ community. [4]
The work was done right before students came back from Study Week.
It also comes just in time for Pride Week [5] at Loyalist in the first week of November.
“I though it was very awesome that they decided to do something like that, especially with the Pride Week coming up next week,” said Brittany Woodcock, a journalism student who is leader of the Pride on Campus group. “It’s pretty cool that they wanted to make the school more inclusive for the LGBT+ community.”
This will be the first-ever Pride Week at Loyalist.
“I am extremely ecstatic that we are bringing Pride Week here to the college,” said Scott Rook, president of the student government. “To be honest, I am a little bit surprised that that hasn’t been done before. But I am glad we are doing it now.”
Pride Week starts Monday with the raising of the rainbow flag in front of the Kente Building at 9 a.m. More events happen though the week.
