2SLGBTQIA+ Commission Meeting: With Special Guests Svend Robinson and Libby Davis

Join us for a talk with former NDP MP for Burnaby, Svend Robinsion and party Vice President, Libby Davis on Wednesday, August 26 at 8:00pm EST//5:00pm PST.

We are excited to have Svend Robinson joining us on our next Commission meeting August 26! Svend was one of the longest-serving federal Members of Parliament (MP) in British Columbia history, representing the community of Burnaby, with the New Democratic Party for over twenty-five years (1979–2004). 

Svend will be sharing his work on documenting the history of "the purge" - where from the 1950s to the 1990s, the Government of Canada systematically persecuted 2SLGBTQ+ members of the Canadian public service. Known as “the purge”, it was an attempt to remove 2SLGBTQ+ people from the workforce, justified by arguments that they presented a threat to national security.

We invite you to listen to join us!
