ELDERPRIDE

ELDER PRIDE
ElderPride is an intergenerational 2SLGBTQ+ program. This event is open to 2SLGBTQ+ folx age 16+ who wish to connect across generations, with a focus on adults age 50+! ElderPride holds monthly socials and additional monthly events which include a shared meal and activity. Space is sometimes limited, and preference will be given to individuals aged 50+ if we reach capacity.  Check out the Facebook group HERE or contact contact[at]elderpride.com to join the ElderPride mailing list!
 
ElderPride is a new intergenerational social program for 2SLGBTQ+ older adults, funded through the New Horizons for Seniors Program, that will offer a blended in-person and virtual group meeting experience. 2SLGBTQ+ elders will have opportunities to share their wealth of knowledge and lived experience and engage in intergenerational mentorship – all in a fun and relaxed environment. ElderPride hopes to create a space for social connections, community-building, and creativity.

ElderPride runs at least two events each month. Check the calendar for their next event!

EAT WITH PRIDE

Eat with Pride
Eat with Pride is a virtual cook-along series for 2SLGBTQ+ individuals in the Fredericton area, funded by the Tegan and Sara Foundation. It is intended to encourage virtual community building while providing fresh food and preparation tips!
 
Fierté Fredericton Pride will be providing FREE ingredient bags to be picked up/delivered before events. A small selection of cooking equipment is also available.
 
We will host virtual cook-alongs on Zoom for those who wish to share this experience with others, followed by a virtual brunch table to encourage discussion while we enjoy the fruits of our labour.
 
All dishes will either have variations for those with dietary restrictions, or be vegan/gluten free.

Eat with Pride is currently on hiatus. We are excited to offer more opportunities to cook and bake together in 2023!

Check back soon!
