Community Life Updates
#UFHPride
University Family Housing is a safe and inclusive space that has a history of welcoming diverse 2SLGBTQ+ residents. In the late 1980s, UFH Admissions Officer, Ellen Giles, admitted the first gay couple into Charles Street, making UofT the first university in Canada to accept a gay couple as a family into its on-campus student housing. We are proud of our history and want to celebrate Pride month by highlighting what Pride means to our residents.
Check out the lobbies of 30 and 35 Charles for the Pride rainbow arches where you can write down what Pride means to you, your family, or your friends with the paper and markers provided. Take a picture holding up your “What Pride Means to Us” sign under the Pride rainbow and post your photo to Instagram on your feed or stories and tag @uoftfamilyhousing and use the hashtag #UFHPride. We’ll post your photo on our UFH social media and feature you on our photo wall in the lobby!
