#ToBealion means to support the Pride
Saturday June 1, 10am - 4pm at the Academy of Lions
In support for our members of the LGBTQ community, the Pride of Lions event is back! This year, teams of 3 will take part in a energetic and friendly competition in 3 different events in support of YouthLine, a Queer, Trans, Two-Spirit* youth-led organization that affirms and supports the experiences of youth (29 and under) across Ontario.
