The Pride Prom is a fabulous, end-of-year
celebration & graduation party for Toronto's lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender and transsexual (LGBT) high school students and their
guests. Each year, over 150 queer youth and their friends join us
as we crown the Pride Ace, King and Queen! The Pride Prom features
celebrity hosts, food, entertainment, spinning by well-known youth
DJs, contests and prizes. Past hosts have included comedian Elvira
Kurt, Much Music VJ Sook Yin Lee, Enza 'Supermodel' Anderson, the
lovely Jane (AKA Sky Gilbert), and diva Mirha-Soleil Ross. This
is definitely an event you won't want to miss!
The Pride Prom is co-sponsored by The Triangle Program and Supporting
Our Youth.
The Triangle Program:
The Triangle Program is Canada's only classroom for LGBT youth.
The Triangle program works with a very diverse group of disenfranchised
youth who are not able to (currently) work in a mainstream school
setting. Currently in our sixth year of operation, the Triangle
Program allows students to experience academic success and earn
credits toward their high school diploma. More importantly the Triangle
Program allows students to develop the life-skills, confidence,
pride and finesse they need to be successful when they transition
back to their larger lives, be that mainstream schools, other alternative
schools, work and/or post-secondary education.
