PIE day at RWUC

Robertson-Wesley United Church 10209 123 St NW, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

This year the threat to young trans and gender expansive individuals is especially at risk with the provincial legislation currently in progress, therefore any funds raised will be shared between RW’s affirming ministries and Egale Canada who, with Skipping Stone and several families, are suing the AB government for unconstitutional discrimination regarding these specific bills, particularly bill 26 which became law Dec 5, 2024.  

The event itself is free (donations happily accepted) and will feature delicious pie, community networking, socializing, empowering words and a variety show of local performers. All are welcome!
