Miscellaneous


Jordana was a leading person behind the first organized Pride event in this remote northern area of Canada. She first experienced a Pride event when she moved away from Flin Flon (less than 6k pop.) at a young age to Saskatoon (a metro area of about ½ million pop.) Still not sure of her sexual identity out when she moved, she built a relationship with a “roommate” in Saskatoon. She dealt with trauma of coming out to family who at first did not accept. Moving back to Flin Flon, she gained acceptance from family and others over time. They still have incidents of hate; but much of town now accepts an participate in their annual parade.
