Considered Calgary’s first gay bar, Club Carousel opened in 1970. Its innovative members-only policy created a space where patrons could feel safe from homophobia, repression and intimidation.
Places of Pride takes us to sites across Canada that 2SLGBTQIA+ people fought to make their own: places of celebration and freedom to be fully oneself, and spaces that nurtured a sense of solidarity that became a catalyst for change.
This issue proudly celebrates the spaces and places across the country that in some way shaped the present and can inspire the future. It highlights the resilience, courage and achievements of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities that have contributed to Canada’s ongoing journey toward inclusivity and equality.
These stamps recognize four vital places for 2SLGBTQIA+ in Canada, from early meeting spots to safe spaces for community organizing. These spaces were often the backdrop to pivotal demonstrations and hosted events that shaped 2SLGBTQIA+ communities across the country.
This issue, designed by Kelly Small at Intents & Purposes Inc. and illustrated by Tim Singleton, captures four landmark locations in rich colour illustration.
Each stamp captures a moment that played a role in advancing 2SLGBTQIA+ rights or recognition.
