Transgender Day of Remembrance to be marked in Red Deer Monday
A somber ceremony taking place Monday in Red Deer will serve as a reminder that there is zero place in the world for discrimination against people who are transgender.
The Transgender Day of Remembrance, or TDoR, is happening Nov. 20 at the Pioneer Lodge starting at 6:30 p.m. It is free to attend and open to the public.
Lucas Gagnon, spokesperson with the Trans and Non-binary Aid Society (TANAS), says there’s good reason why they’re telling people ahead of time this year.
“Last year, we were concerned about safety and it is still of course a number one priority, but we wanted to make sure that people knew about how important this event is to us as well,” Gagnon says.
