CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10 The purpose of the Alliance is to bring together all the rural and northern Prides in the province and to give the organizers somewhere to share resources and knowledge." – Jenn Rands, vice-president of advocacy for Pride Winnipeg and chair of Manitoba Pride Alliance. If anybody is interested in starting up a new Pride group in their community, Rands encourages them to reach out to the Manitoba Pride Alliance. "We have an advisory council that's split up into north, south, east and west regions," she says. "We have some advisors on the council who are part of more established Prides, and they serve as advisors for Prides in that area. That's where we're starting." In addition, the Manitoba Pride Alliance offers opportunities for education for anyone who is interested. "We also have an education component where we are working towards offering online webinars and training in the next weeks and months to come," Rands says. "These components might be centred around community safety or different topics like how to get allies and local governments more involved in your community."
