All you had to do was walk by the post office downtown.

Event coordinator Amanda St. Denis brought attention to the creator of the cupcakes and why, despite loosened COVID restrictions, they were boxed.

SA国际影视传媒淵K Sweets made them,SA国际影视传媒 said St. Denis. SA国际影视传媒淲e had them make them and have them individually wrapped. I know restrictions have lifted, but considering COVID, just wanna take extra precautions.SA国际影视传媒

Not long after set up, all of the cakes were handed out by around 12:15 pm.

The event, with support from sponsors TD Bank and McLennan Ross LLP, was for the continued raising of awareness with for the 2SLGBTQIPA+ community.

SA国际影视传媒淰isibility is super important,SA国际影视传媒 said St. Denis. SA国际影视传媒淭he 2SLGBTQIPA+ community still has a lot of barriers to face within our community. So, itSA国际影视传媒檚 one way that we can bring awareness, bring it to peopleSA国际影视传媒檚 attention that the queer community exists and bring some sunshine and light to a challenging time.SA国际影视传媒
