As we hit the middle of Mental Health Awareness Week, we wanted to make sure everyone got this update from a few days ago.

The Press 3 option is back ❤️ Everyone deserves compassionate care. Please use 988 if you need to talk to someone, day or night--you are worth it.

This Sunday, October 11th, will mark the 38th year of National Coming Out Day in the United States. To celebrate all those who have already come out, all those who might come out soon, and all those who find themselves unable to do so, we will be offering a special discount for interested Ottawa Pride vendors.

Sign up to be a vendor at Ottawa Family Pride Fest 2027 (on Saturday, June 12th) and use coupon code OUTPROUD at checkout to save $38 on your vendor fee. This coupon will only be good until the end of the day on Sunday!

Remember, in the closet or out of the closet, embrace who you are to the fullest extent that you are safely able. Everyone's journey is different. We are here to celebrate you whenever you are able.

Sign up as a vendor for Ottawa Family Pride and help create a welcoming, family‑friendly space for the local LGBTQIA+ community, and our allies. 🏳️‍🌈 This…
