Victoria

We’ll be donating to the Victoria Pride Society,
to provide funding to the Youth Leadership Council.

The Victoria Pride Youth Leadership Council (YLC) is a group of 14 to 24 year-olds that meet monthly to plan youth initiatives and events that relate to the LGBTQIA2S+ community.

The purpose of YLC is to foster learning opportunities, be a forum to voice youth needs, and inform key initiatives to make positive impacts in our communities!
