Pride Month in Manitoba is a celebration; a reflection of resilience; and a reaffirmation of equity. It is also a call to action to continue breaking down barriers that have historically excluded 2SLGBTQIA+ voices. Across Manitoba, researchers, policymakers, and community advocates are working to build a more inclusive society. Research Manitoba is proud to support and elevate this work by fostering inclusive research practices and supporting community-based innovation.
