Posted on August 28, 2025 by Kevin Allen | Leave a comment

In celebration of Calgary Pride 2025, we are giving away a copy of Our Past Matters (now a tradition)! Find the book in one of the inner city Little Free Libraries. {Maybe leave a book for someone else, while you are there!}

*Look for Our Past Matters this weekend!*

Thanks to everyone who came out to this week’s Gay History Walks (at capacity) and to last week’s lecture at The Confluence. It’s gratifying to learn so many people care about our City’s queer history—and hot dogs and hot takes!

In celebration of Calgary Pride 2024, we’re giving away a copy of Our Past Matters. Find it, in one of the inner city Little Free Libraries. {Maybe leave a book for someone else, while you are there!}

Kevin will be doing a book signing from 2-3 PM at the Pride Festival in Prince’s Island Park on Sunday, September 1st, hosted by Calgary Pride at their marketplace booth. Come by and chat about queer history. Book sales support the festival and Calgary Pride.

Finally, Celebrate Pride 2024 at Shelf Life Books on September 4th with a fun-filled extravaganza of local talent including drag performances by Dogiichow & Osmo Cis, literary readings by Skylar Kay and Bret Crowle, hosted by Kevin Allen.
