It is Pride Month. Throughout this month, I will be sharing the stories of Canadians who fought for LGBTQ rights. Today it is the story of The Brunswick Four.
Square Pride Month graphic with a dark navy background. Large rainbow-gradient text at the top reads PRIDE MONTH. Below is a black-and-white photo of four smiling women indoors. A text block describes Adrienne Potts, Pat Murphy, Sue Wells and Heather Elizabeth being told to leave the Brunswick Tavern in Toronto on Jan. 5, 1974, their treatment by police, Judy LaMarsh representing them, and a 2024 Toronto Police Services apology. A purple-to-blue banner at the bottom reads THE BRUNSWICK FOUR, with small Canadian History Ehx logos and a rainbow stripe along the bottom.

There’s already a big winner ahead of the men’s 2026 FIFA World Cup match happening on Thursday between South Africa and the Czechia in Atlanta: Women. Three women from the United States will referee the match, and make history as they do. bit.ly/4w0fwyu
Three referees in teal jerseys walk together on a soccer field, each carrying a colorful flag. The text below reads, "For the first time, an all-American women referee crew will officiate a men’s World Cup match. Another historic moment? One of the assistant refs will be the first out LGBTQ+ official at the tournament."

#NationalIndigenousHistoryMonth is also a time to reflect/reconcile the traumatic loss of traditions, culture and language of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples through mandated government programming. It's a long but incredibly necessary process of education, conversation, & hopefully, healing.

Getting older doesn't mean saying goodbye to fun or excitement. In this clip, #ToughOldBroad Sharon Farmer visits her famous photo of Beatrice Ferguson, 97, while it is on display in an exhibition at the @librarycongress.bsky.social. Captured in D.C. in 1991, Ferguson is everything we aspire to be.

Kids say the darndest things, Part 2! What age is considered old? 👶👧👩👵 We ask a group of youngsters the question, and it appears there’s no one answer. It also appears that age is just a number, and it’s all relative. Because when you’re young, everyone seems old! 💯

Kids say the darndest things… We’ve heard from #ToughOldBroads so far, but we wanted to check in with the youngest generation to find out what it means to be “old” in 2026. It’s clear we need to introduce them to more trailblazers! But they just might be right about the hats and graham crackers…
