The Pulse Night of Remembrance is an annual event held on June 12th to remember the 49 people who were killed and 53 others who were injured in a mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, in 2016. The event aims to honour the victims of this tragedy, as well as raise awareness about the ongoing struggle for GSRD rights and safety in the United States and around the world. Â
While the Pulse nightclub shooting occurred in the United States, the impact of this event was felt around the globe, including in Canada. In Canada, the Pulse Night of Remembrance is an important opportunity to remember and honour the victims, as well as to raise awareness about the ongoing struggles faced by the GSRD community and the importance of working together to create a more just and inclusive world, where all individuals can feel safe.  Â
Our hearts go out to the families and friends of the victims, as well as to those whose sense of community and safety was upturned by this event.Â
