Rainbow Spaces

Wood Buffalo Pride's Rainbow Spaces program promotes and fosters safer and more inclusive spaces, organizations, and businesses for 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals in Wood Buffalo. Organizations and businesses that have taken specific steps outlined by the program receive Wood Buffalo Pride Rainbow Spaces designation. Our Rainbow Spaces receive public recognition for their commitment to 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusion as part of our Rainbow Spaces Directory, as well as ongoing support and partnership with Wood Buffalo Pride. 

When designating a Rainbow Space, Wood Buffalo Pride remains accountable to the 2SLGBTQIA+ community that we serve and advocate for. We fundamentally believe that allyship is not a title, but consistent, intentional action and accountability. We also understand that in becoming a Rainbow Space, each organization will be in a process of learning and growth following our training, and that process may include mistakes. Should we receive a concern or complaint from the community about a Rainbow Space, we will be in contact to work with the organization to understand the situation, arrive at a resolution, repair harm, and re-train as necessary.

Looking for inclusive services that may not be listed as a certified Rainbow Space in our directory? Feel free to reach out to us if you are looking for peer-recommended 2SLGBTQIA+-friendly businesses, organizations, and services.
