We have done a lot in the last 7 years, but this is by far the most significant.
Being invited by the Two-Spirit youth of Lower Kootenay Band to re-paint the rainbow crosswalk made us all take pause and realize that we are finally closer than we ever have been to our vision as OUTspoken.
We aim to connect communities with conversation and healing intentions and when reading this article we were so deeply impacted by Nasukin Jason Louie and his words that we wanted to share them here to remind us all to stay on the path that leads to healing.
Please enjoy the article below.
And a big thank you to Kelsey Yates, as always, for your support and beautiful words.

Well. Creston Pride Fest 2024 is officially complete. 🏳️‍🌈
Everyone at OUTspoken would like to first thank our amazing (and exhausted) committee members and volunteers.
This day could not have happened without every helpful person that came from all over to assist us.
A very special thank you to Mountain Park Resort for providing a safe and welcoming venue. This was a perfect spot for an amazing day.
Next, we would like to thank our ASTOUNDING Performers! We have not stopped hearing about the inspiring Ryder Goode, the hilarious Randii Andii, and the incredible Jerriana. We hope to see you all next year!
Next. To our vendors, musicians, and open mic participants! This day was made bright, colourful, and full of music because of you. The sound of local music and happy shoppers was a delight to us all.
To everyone that showed up, donated, and showed us so much support: we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We had no idea what we were going to see and could not be happier with the turnout.

Here's to the beginning of an annual Pride Fest starting after 100 long years of silence.

Here's to change.

Today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

We would like to remind our followers that OUTspoken is operating on the occupied territory of the Yaqan Nukiy people within the Ktunaxa Nation.
We recognize the weight of hosting these events in the name of diversity while residing on colonized land that does not currently have a Treaty agreement.
We do not take this lightly and have been actively educating ourselves and eachother on the 94 calls to action and Truth and Reconciliation practices as well as the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls movement.

OUTspoken committee members are committed to acts of reconciliation at each meeting and are honoured to participate in events hosted by the Lower Kootenay Band that have welcomed us with open arms and healing intentions.

🌈 Celebrating Pride Month: A Tribute to Love, Courage, and Unity

June is here, and with it comes a vibrant celebration of love, diversity, and the unyielding spirit of the 2SLGBTQ+ community. Pride Month is a time to honor the progress we've made towards equality, to recognize the struggles and sacrifices of those who have fought for their rights, and to affirm that love is love, no matter what.

Whether you attend a Pride event, participate in virtual events, or simply sport a rainbow flag, your support and visibility make a difference.

🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride Month, everyone! 🏳️‍🌈
