Transgender Day of Remembrance

The Town of Bridgewater, in partnership with Lunenburg Pride, will mark the Transgender Day of Remembrance on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, with a flag-raising ceremony at DesBrisay Museum beginning at 1 p.m. The public is invited and encouraged to attend.

The Transgender Day of Remembrance is a day dedicated to honouring and remembering transgender and gender-diverse individuals who have lost their lives to acts of anti-trans violence.

Commemorating the Transgender Day of Remembrance is a powerful act of respect, compassion, and solidarity. It’s an opportunity to pause, reflect, and acknowledge the hate and violence targeting transgender people around the world. By remembering those whose lives have been lost, we share in honouring their lives, recognizing their humanity, and acknowledging their value and dignity.
