Speaking with Pride 2026

The 4th annual Speaking with Pride Day of Professional Development is happening on June 4, 2026 hosted by Brock University Professional and Continuing Studies as part of the Pride Niagara Festival.
This year's theme of "Creating Space" will feature guest speaker Ted Mouradian (BA '99) from The 2% Factor.

Following the keynote session, guests will have the opportunity to attend one of three in-person learning sessions.
Learning Session 1 - "Should your personal life be kept out of the workplace?" with Ted Mouridian. This session will give you the tools on how to navigate the workplace so you can feel part of the team while you are being your authentic self.
Learning Session 2 - Info Coming Soon (Topic creating community spaces for diverse populations) with Daniel Krowchuk
Learning Session 3 - "Inclusive Practices in Your Spaces" with Ashlyn O'Neil and Ann Gagne
