Yay! It’s Peterborough Pride! It’s my favourite time of the year! My name is Annette Pedlar and I am excited to be the Queer Commissioner for the TCSA this year. I’m looking forward to a year full of campaigns and events that are queer positive and inclusive. I encourage all of the individuals and groups on campus running events to take the time to make sure that queer individuals feel comfortable attending and participating. If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions about queer related issues on campus please send me an email at annettepedlar@trentu.ca. Keep a look out on the TCSA’s Facebook page to see the upcoming queer related events from your student union. I hope you all enjoy your first weeks of school and remember that there are services available at Trent health services to help anyone who is struggling with their identity. Remember Trent; stay loud and stay proud.
