June 4 to 11/22 was Pride Week in the Bay of Quinte, the first in person Pride events since 2019.
As the organizers said, “After 2 years of staying in, they were finally coming out”! On Saturday June 11 the Rotary Club of Trenton was represented in the Quinte Pride Parade by Micheline Jackman (wife of Rotarian Craig Jackman) and friend Lorrie Smith of Kissimmee Florida. This is a tremendously positive event for both the LGBTQ community! The Parade was followed by the Pride in the Park event at Zwicks Park in Belleville, which is a celebration of respect and support for the lives of LGBTQ youth, LGBTQAI+ and 2 Spirit people and their families, friends, allies, and for the Belleville, Trenton and Prince Edward County community.
