Have you ever seen this flag before? This is the Disability Pride Flag! In 2019, the Disability Pride Flag designed by Ann Magill began to circulate during Disability Pride Month. The flag was revised in 2021 to be more visually accessible, especially for those with visual sensitives such as epilepsy.

Here is the meaning behind each design element:

All six flag colors: Disability spans borders between nations.

Diagonal Band: Cutting across the walls and barriers that separate disabled people from society.

Red Stripe: Physical disabilities.

Gold Stripe: Neurodivergence.

White Stripe: Invisible and undiagnosed disabilities.

Blue Stripe: Psychiatric disabilities.

Green Stripe: Sensory disabilities.

Happy Disability Pride Month!

Every year in July, Disability Pride Month celebrates persons who experience disability, their identities and culture, and their positive contributions to society. It aims to change the way people think about disability and promotes all types of disability as a natural part of human diversity.

Disability Pride Month has been celebrated in the United States since July 1990 when the Americans with Disabilities Act came into law. Today, it is celebrated around the world, including in Canada, where 22 per cent or 6.2 million Canadians live with a disability.

Did you know the gold stripe in the Disability Pride Flag represents Neurodivergence?

Let’s use this month to learn about, understand, and celebrate persons with disabilities, and work together to create more respectful and inclusive communities all year long!

Happy Pride Month! At the Centre, we are committed to embracing, accepting and providing safe spaces for everyone regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation.

Did you know the month of June was chosen for 2SLGBTQIA+ Pride Month to commemorate the anniversary of the Stonewall riots? In June 1969, a series of riots for gay liberation took place lasting several days. Following the Stonewall riots, the first pride marches began across the United States to commemorate the riots and further push liberation. Today, many pride events are held around the world during this month to recognize and celebrate the impact 2SLGBTQIA+ people have had in the world, as well as their continued fight for equal access.
