Regulating Morality: Exploring Edmonton’s Queer History

Regulating Morality: Exploring Edmonton’s Queer History: A Historical Display at Fort Edmonton Park

The Edmonton Queer History Project and Fort Edmonton Park proudly announce the opening of “Regulating Morality: Exploring Edmonton’s Queer History,” a historical display showcasing 2SLGBTQ+ existence and resistance in the ongoing fight for human rights.

Regulating Morality explores key historic events including the moral theocracy of “Bible Bill” Aberhart, HIV/AIDS pandemic, the landmark Vriend v. Alberta Supreme Court case, to current threats against 2SLGBTQ+ equality and human rights. The exhibition explores the moral and gender panics of both the past and present, community resilience and activism, and educational, legal, and political challenges surrounding 2SLGBTQ+ issues in Alberta over the past 100 years.

Regulating Morality: Exploring Edmonton’s Queer History is open until September 15, 2024 in Reed’s China and Gift Shop on 1905 Street at Fort Edmonton Park. Entrance is free with admission to the park.
