The Society
The Tri-Cities Pride Society (TCPS) was formed in September 2017 to advocate for and serve the LGBT2SQ+ communities in the cities of Port Moody, Coquitlam, and Port Coquitlam. We do so with a mixture of advocacy, social events, and consultation.
Governance
The TCPS is run by an elected board of directors. They are elected each year by the membership at the society’s Annual General Meeting.
Membership
The TCPS has 2 types of membership: individual and organisation:
- Individual memberships are by donation and grant the member a vote at general meetings. Donations assist the society in running events and continuing functioning.
- Organisation memberships are by donation and grant 1 vote at general meetings. This type of membership is ideal for organisations for whose goals are closely aligned with the TCPS.
Coquitlam's Rainbow Crosswalk
The TCPS worked hard to with Coquitlam City Council to bring this beautiful symbol of Pride to the city of Coquitlam – right outside City Hall!
Pro-SOGI Rally
The TCPS rallied the community to show our support of the SOGI & SOGI 123 policy and resource package – an essential tool for educators hoping to help LGBT2SQ+ youth and children.
Advocacy
The TCPS works with all willing organisations and persons to help better the communities and make them safer for the LGBT2SQ+ communities. We will fight to make our communities safer and more inclusive.
Education
The TCPS will work with the community to help learn what is wanted and what is needed in order to help make our communities more inclusive and safe.
