UNBC campus bore witness to a number of gains for the LGBTQ2SIA+ community this Fall 2024 semester as drag shows pick up momentum, selling out repeatedly, and gender affirming healthcare quietly became included in the student health plan. Healthcare plans don’t usually cause excitement but Northern Pride Centre President Bo White confirmed, “No. It’s a pretty awesome step towards having a more inclusive campus.” NUGSS, UNBC’s Student Society implemented the plan consulting with the Northern Pride Centre over the course of about a year. Both are excited to get the word out about this milestone over Transgender Awareness Week. Check out the full interview below.

This initiative is made possible by the Community Radio Fund of Canada.
