Day of Pink 2026 invites you to explore ECHO—a theme that calls us to tune in to the voices of queer and trans communities, past and present. These are the voices that dared to speak up, to love out loud, to resist, and to reshape the law. Their courage continues to echo through every right we hold, every story we tell, and every change still to come.WHEN: April 1st 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM
WHERE: Peterborough Public Library, 345 Aylmer St N, Peterborough (Friends of the Library Community Room)
🎟️ FREE: For your free ticket go to dayofpink.org/echo
What happens when we refuse to be silenced? The ECHO Tour stops at the library to share stories from history and lived experience that shape who we are and where we go next.
This year, the Day of Pink ECHO Tour travels across Canada, bringing together powerful storytellers, poets, activists, and community leaders to share the 2SLGBTQIA+ stories that once faced censorship—and still fight for space today.
From courtrooms to bookstores, family tables to federal law, queer and trans voices have always resisted silence. This tour honours that resistance, marking 25 years since two defining moments in Canadian queer history:
- The Supreme Court case Little Sisters Bookstore v. Canada
- Passing of the Modernization of Benefits and Obligations Act
But this tour is not just about the past—it’s about the stories still echoing now. Stories that shape who we are and where we go next.
🎙️ What to Expect
The ECHO Tour is an evening of poetry, conversation, reflection, and truth-telling.
Our speakers will share stories from history and lived experience—stories that would have been censored 25 years ago, and in many places, still are.
This is not just a show. It’s a call to listen.
At this event we will view a short documentary recounting the story behind the Supreme Court case Little Sisters Bookstore v. Canada. You will also hear from AJ Dolman, Ryan Thomas Wood, Patti Gray, and local author/book seller Tammy Insley!
Bios for the speakers are at this link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LfeNIqqnywsqitpGT_kPA1YT8q275DVU_ufAn860zPw/edit?usp=sharing
Light snacks and beverages will be available
