Satellite Club - WERA
Janet Kelly gave an update on the Windsor Essex Rainbow Alliance at this past week's Satellite meeting. They have made great progress in the past year, working with members of the 2SLGBTQIA community, the university, and the city.
They have made strides toward the goal of collecting, preserving and disseminating local history, and have a proposal going to the city toward the goal of having a monument created so that history does not disappear within the city. If you are interested in helping with WERA, please contact Janet Kelly, Beverly Cyr, or Rick Caron.
