CCDI Webinar: Islamophobia

Join Pride at Work Canada and the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management for a special screening of Pride vs. Prejudice: The Delwin Vriend Story. This powerful documentary chronicles the journey of Delwin Vriend, a man who was dismissed from a Christian university in Edmonton for being gay.

His fight against this discrimination led to a landmark Supreme Court case, Vriend v Alberta, which played a crucial role in advancing 2SLGBTQI+ rights in Canada. This documentary was produced by the Edmonton Community Foundation and the Edmonton Queer History Project and premiered in Spring 2024.

Enjoy complimentary refreshments and mingle with fellow movie enthusiasts before the show. Following the screening, we will have a fireside chat between Special Guest Douglas R. Stollery and moderator Jade Pichette (Pride at Work Canada).

We are honoured to welcome Douglas R. Stollery, an esteemed construction lawyer, human rights advocate, President of the Stollery Charitable Foundation and former Chancellor of the University of Alberta. Stollery played a central role in the Vriend v Alberta case and has received many awards including the Order of Canada for his contributions to advancing 2SLGBTQI+ rights and other charitable initiatives.
