Premier Cochrane issues statement of support for 2SLGBTQQIA+ community

Today, Premier Cochrane issued the following statement for Pride Month:

“As Pride Month draws to a close, I am pledging my commitment to stand with and support the two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual and additional sexually and gender diverse (2SLGBTQQIA+) community year-round.
