SUMMARY:Pride vs. Prejudice: The Delwin Vriend Story
DESCRIPTION:TCPS Event \nPride vs. Prejudice: The Delwin Vriend Story chronicles the landmark legal battle that changed the course of Canadian history. In 1991\, Delwin Vriend was fired from his job at a Christian college in Edmonton for being gay. When Alberta’s human rights legislation failed to protect him\, Vriend took his case all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada — and won. The 1998 decision in Vriend v. Alberta ensured sexual orientation was protected under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms\, shaping the future of 2SLGBTQI+ rights in Canada. \nFurther info about the movie here: https://www.pridevsprejudice.com \nCoquitlam Public Library City Centre Branch\, room 136/137 \n
