Transgender Day of Remembrance

Here in Durham Region, we proudly stand with the transgender community, and all members of the 2SLGBTQI+ community. No matter your gender identity, gender expression or sexual orientation, you should feel supported and welcomed in Durham Region.

Today (November 20), the Region’s Director of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Division, Allison Hector-Alexander, on behalf of Regional Chair and CEO, John Henry, proclaimed November 20 as Transgender Day of Remembrance.

On this day, we honour those tragically lost to anti-transgender violence and reaffirm our commitment to creating a safe, respectful and inclusive region where everyone can live authentically and free from harm.

As an act of solidarity and support for the transgender community, the Transgender flag was raised at Regional Headquarters.
