  5. Pride Month Adds a Splash of Colour to the U of R

 

The sidewalks at the University of Regina got a little brighter this week.

To kick off Pride Month, faculty, staff, and students gathered to paint rainbow sidewalks in front of the Riddell Centre, on the Dr. Lloyd Barber Academic Green, and at the College Avenue Campus.

Now, some of the U of R’s most familiar pathways carry a visible reminder that 2SLGBTQIA+ faculty, staff, students, and community members are welcome here. When people feel seen, heard, and included, our whole community grows stronger.

Take a look at the sidewalk painting in action in our photo gallery.
