Return of the Rainbow

Ã山ǿ¼é's Homecoming for current and past 2SLGBTQIA+ students, staff, and faculty

Since 2001, this annual celebration has offered an opportunity for queer members of the Ã山ǿ¼é community to share and hear meaningful stories of intergenerational queerness at Ã山ǿ¼é over cocktails. 


Ã山ǿ¼é is on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. We acknowledge and thank the diverse Indigenous peoples whose presence marks this territory on which peoples of the world now gather.

For more information about traditional territory and tips on how to make a land acknowledgement, visit our Land Acknowledgement webpage.
