Pride Conferences
Every two years the CAW holds our own Pride Conference at our Family Education Centre in Port Elgin, Ontario. Over 100 LGBT members and allies get together to share strategies for making our workplaces safer and our world more fair. CAW activists also participate in Canadian Labour Congress Pride Conferences and International Workers Out! Conferences held every three years.

Creating Safer Workplaces was our CAW Pride Conference theme in 2007. LGBT activists and members from across the country took part in a weekend of politics, culture, strategic planning and fun.

International Day Against Homophobia - May 17
May 17th is International Day Against Homophobia. For posters and information, see the campaign website, www.homophobiaday.org. Each year CAW local pride committees and caucuses commemorate the day by distributing copies of the CAW Allies booklet, postering their workplaces, participating in radio interviews, writing letters to countries where homosexuality is still considered illegal, calling on the Canadian government to grant status to LGBT refugee claimants, and calling on their municipalities to officially recognize the day.
