It is a busy time in Calgary for queer events and happenings. You can catch the end of the Fairytales Queer Film Festival this weekend as well as Third Street Theatre’s Stars of the Stage and Screen Gala.
One Voice Chorus, whom we partnered earlier this year to present the Club Carousel Cabaret has a concert coming up featuring a local Gay-Straight Alliance – topical given recent history in Alberta! Rainbow Connections: A Pride Concert will be held on Sunday, June 7th at 3 PM.
Close on the heels 
We are planning a couple of research trips as well. Kevin Allen will be on the West Coast again (Victoria and Vancouver) from June 14-18 to gather more interviews for the project. If you or some one you know has a Calgary gay history to share, please contact us. We also are tentatively planning a trip to Saskatoon (and Regina?) in the first week of August, to check out the Neil Richards Collection of Sexual and Gender Diversity at the University of Saskatchewan. Again, if there are any former Calgarians in Saskatchewan whom you know, please have them get in touch with us.
Now that the Provincial election has concluded, stay tuned to the website for weekly history vignettes, and updates to the project.
Have a great summer!
