About this Event
Pride vs. Prejudice: The Delwin Vriend Story
Delwin Vriend never wanted to be a human rights activist, but in challenging his firing for being gay, he set in motion a chain of events that impacted the lives of LGBTQ+ people — not just in Alberta, not just in Canada, but around the globe.
Pride vs. Prejudice delves into the riveting narrative of the Vriend v. Alberta case, where Delwin Vriend, an unlikely hero, courageously battles against discrimination from a government determined to deny his human rights. Uncover the twists and turns that unfold as Vriend's pursuit of justice challenges societal biases, culminating in a ground-breaking Canadian Supreme Court ruling in 1998 that confronts prejudice and sets a transformative precedent for LGBTQ+ rights that is cited around the world.
The event will feature entertainment, appetizers, a cash bar, and an powerful Q&A panel with guest speakers including the film's director, Darrin Hagen.
Join us for an engaging and inspiring evening showcasing that “Delwin Vriend’s story shows "how individual action can spark lasting change — a lesson that still resonates today.”
