Two-Spirit & Indigenous LGBTQQIA+ Awareness Day – Miss604

March 6, 2025

The Two-Spirit Program at Community-Based Research Centre (CBRC) is leading the charge to name Thursday, March 20, 202 (the spring equinox) Two-Spirit and Indigenous LGBTQQIA+ Celebration and Awareness Day in Canada.

“Last year, proclamations and activities were held in seven cities and communities,” said Martin Morberg, Two-Spirit Program Manager at CBRC. “We can’t wait to see what our relatives have planned for 2025. This day is vital for raising awareness and educating the public on Two-Spirit resurgence through demonstrations, proclamations, and community celebrations. We hope everyone will join us in recognizing the significance of this day.”

Conceived by First Nations Cree scholar and community organizer Harlan Pruden, and advocated for by members of the Two-Spirit community, Two-Spirit and Indigenous LGBTQQIA+ Celebration and Awareness Day is an annual celebration of the radiance and diversity of Two-Spirit identities, expression and experience​. Held in alignment with the spring equinox each year, the celebration is intended for all Two-Spirit and Indigenous queer and trans people, as well as allies, families, and friends.
