DSS is proud to launch our Q-Elders Project
June 28th 2024 marks the 55th anniversary of the Stonewall Revolution. Dignity Seniors Society is delighted to commemorate this important moment in history with the launch of the Q-Elders Project.
The goal of the Q-Elders Project is to identify, honour and celebrate 2SLGBTQI+ elders in British Columbia. These are individuals who have contributed to the flourishing of our communities through their leadership, altruism, and courage.
Five inaugural Q-Elders are profiled below. Some may be familiar to you, but all are deserving of our respect and thanks. As you read their bios, we hope you find their stories to be powerful, humbling and inspirational.
