Delwin Vriend never wanted to be a human rights activist, but in challenging his firing for being gay, he set in motion a chain of events that impacted the lives of LGBTQ+ people —not just in Alberta, not just in Canada, but around the globe.

On Thursday August 15, join us for a special celebration of human rights featuring:

• Opening Remarks from Tina Thomas, CEO, Edmonton Community Foundation.
• Post-film discussion moderated by Darrin Hagen (Writer/Director) with panellists:
• Kathryn Oviatt, Chief of the Commission and Tribunals of the Alberta Human Rights Commission.
• Honourable Ronald Ghitter, former Senator and MLA who introduced Alberta’s first human rights legislation and co-founded the Dignity Foundation to promote tolerance and understanding.
• Senator Paula Simons.
