outside of Drag Queen Book Readings and adults misgendering children. Surrey Pride held their first event in June 1999 (a BBQ!) and have grown to help many other organizations in their pursuit for equality and recognition. They currently organize Pride events
in Surrey every year. How do they do so safely when we are seeing resistance to 2SLGBTQA+ events across BC? What can we do to keep our events safer for the 2SLGBTQA+ community?<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Martin Rooney is a founder of the Surrey Pride Society and an active member in the Surrey Community. In February of 1998, he and 3 others organized the first gay dance in Surrey to raise monies to fight
the SD36 book ban. They followed up with the FIRST Surrey Pride BBQ, Festival and Dance held at Sullivan Hall in June 1999 with 300 people attending the dance. They went on to create a gay non-profit society known as Out in Surrey Rainbow Cultural Society
(OISRCS) and host the first ever Gay Surrey Pride Day/Weekend at Surrey City Hall. Martin has continued his work, pivoting to virtual pride events during 2020 and 2021 and receiving the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee award in January 2023.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
