Pride Month in Brant

The month of June was chosen for Pride Month around the world to commemorate the Stonewall riots, which occurred at the end of June 1969. As a result, many pride events are held during this month to recognize the impact LGBTQ+ people have had in the world.

2022 Celebrate Pride Month Lawn Signs

On Tuesday, April 20, 2021 County of Brant Council approved the mobilization of Celebrate Pride lawn signs for residents in the County of Brant. We thank those who displayed a Celebrate Pride lawn sign in 2021, and are excited to again offer signs to the public for Pride 2022!

Check back next year for 2023 Pride Initiatives in Brant!

Thank-you to everyone that has showed their support for this year’s celebrations for LGBTQ+ residents and our allies!

The County of Brant thanks our 2022 sponsors: The Crew Real Estate, Riverside Heating & Air Conditioning, and Believe In
