Echoes in Pride: My History of Lesbian Activism

My History of Lesbian Activism An evening of lived history, courage, and community leadership Date: May 26, 2026 Time: 6:30 PM Location: Sacred Space, Beechwood Cemetery Join us for a powerful and thought-provoking evening with Marie Robertson, one of Canada’s most influential voices in the history of LGBTQ+ advocacy. With more than five decades of activism, Marie will share her personal journey through the evolution of LGBTQ+ rights in Canada, offering a candid and compelling perspective on the challenges, milestones, and defining moments that have shaped the movement. This third session of Echoes in Pride is more than a presentation. It is a reflection on identity, resilience, and the power of community. Through lived experience, Marie brings history into the present, creating space for dialogue, understanding, and continued progress. This is an opportunity to engage directly with a voice that has helped shape Canada’s social fabric. Be part of the conversation. Be part of the legacy. Speaker Bio: Marie Robertson
