Celebrate Pride Month in the City of Edmonton! 🌈
June in Edmonton is a vibrant celebration of 2SLGBTQIA+ pride, community, and culture — and every year the city comes alive with events that honor diversity, visibility, and inclusion. Building on the strong tradition of Pride celebrations in recent years, this year’s Pride Month will feature an exciting lineup of activities from June through the summer, all proudly showcased on the Pride Edmonton Events Calendar.
Exercise is often discussed through neurotypical expectations, but movement, fitness, and physical activity can look very different when viewed through an autistic lens.
Join Autism Edmonton for Exploring Exercise Through an Autistic Lens, a virtual learning session focused on understanding movement, sensory experiences, motivation, accessibility, and well-being in ways that honour autistic experiences and needs.
This session will explore how sensory processing, executive functioning, coordination, anxiety, interoception, burnout, and social expectations can impact relationships with exercise and physical activity. Participants will also learn about creating more neuro-affirming and accessible approaches to movement that prioritize regulation, enjoyment, and sustainability rather than pressure or conformity.
Whether you are autistic, supporting an autistic person, or working in education, recreation, health, or wellness, this session offers valuable insight into making exercise and movement more inclusive and supportive for neurodivergent individuals.
Our first June gathering is coming up and it's the perfect chance to connect before the Pride Flag raising!
Want to volunteer? Help with events? Share ideas for what you'd like to see this summer? Come hang out and chat! We usually meet inside, but if the weather decides to cooperate with us, there's no reason we can't pull up a chair or blanket and enjoy the grass outside instead. Nothing formal, just community, conversation and hopefully some sunshine.
Join us at the library for a wide variety of films!
In the wake of the sexual revolution and the rise of the women's movement, the 1973 tennis match between women's world champion Billie Jean King and ex-men's-champ and serial hustler Bobby Riggs became one of the most watched televised sports events of all time, reaching 90 million viewers around the world. As the rivalry between King and Riggs kicked into high gear, off-court each was fighting more personal and complex battles.

His life changed history. His courage changed lives. Harvey Milk is a middle-aged New Yorker who, after moving to San Francisco, became a Gay Rights activist and city politician. On his third attempt, he was elected to San Francisco's Board of Supervisors in 1977. His election makes him the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in the United States. The following year, both he and the city's mayor, George Moscone, were shot to death by former city supervisor, Dan White, who blamed his former colleagues for denying White's attempt to rescind his
resignation from the board. Based on the inspiring true story of Harvey Milk.
To celebrate Pride Month, EPL is proud to present Olympic gold medalist Mark Tewksbury for an inspiring evening of conversation on sport, identity and the power of inclusion. As Canada’s first openly gay Olympian, Mark’s courageous coming out sparked national dialogue and helped pave the way for greater visibility and acceptance in sport.
Mark will share stories from his athletic career, reflect on the challenges and triumphs of advocacy, and explore the ongoing importance of equity, diversity, and 2SLGBTQ+ rights. From speaking at the United Nations to mentoring athletes competing in challenging global environments, his journey highlights the impact of standing up for fairness and belonging.
This event is presented in partnership with Edmonton Community Foundation and Friends of the Edmonton Public Library.
