Description
Like Stonewall, which started the Pride movement 50 years ago, TESA also started as a protest. In 2009, after the Alberta Government delisted gender affirming surgeries, TESA was formed by members and allies of Alberta's Transgender Community. Since TESA's formation as a registered society in Alberta, in 2009, many changes have occurred that has affected Alberta's Transgender Community. TESA, which is comprised totally of volunteers, continues to do great work within Alberta's 2SLGBTQI+ communities - but we cannot do it alone!
TESA continues to be the voice and witness for matters concerning trans Albertans and who work to bring positive, proactive change within Alberta. One of the ways we can continue to do this is to be visible within Alberta's 2SLBGTQI+ community. TESA is pleased to announce that we are returning to the 2024 Calgary Pride Parade; and we hope you will join us as we will be celebrating TESA's 15th Anniversary!
Once again, we will have a motorized entry - so you can join us by walking or being on the float that we will be using for our entry. Space is limited on the float. If you would like to confirm a spot on the float, please register and then send an email to info@tesaonline.org stating that you would like a spot. Spots on the float will be allocated on a first come, first requested basis.
TESA will be issuing FREE tickets, using this platform, so that we can track who will be joining us in the parade. We need your name, email address and phone number so we can easily contact you with updates leading up to and including the day of the parade.
As a current or past member or ally of TESA, we hope that you, your family and friends can come and join us in the parade!
