We are reviving a historic event which will be held at Louis where the LGBTQ2S+ community can gather in a safe place to mingle while we learn about Saskatchewan Queer History together through trivia based on the University of Saskatchewan Library’s Neil Richards Collection of Sexual and Gender Diversity, followed by live comedy. This FREE event reflects the University Library’s ongoing commitment to community engagement, inclusive programming, and amplifying the histories preserved with the collection.

This video which features visuals and research from the Neil Richards fonds. Please bring a device for trivia on Kahoot.

Please feel free to dress up in your fruitiest attire and form your trivia teams! All ages welcome.

Funding for the event is provided by the Nasser Family Fund and supports the underlying goal to  “support student success through enhancement of activities that build and promote a welcoming and respectful university environment” by building cultural awareness, comfort, understanding, engagement and competency around the access and use of library, archives and archival materials and in particular the Neil Richards Collection of Sexual and Gender Diversity. This is an excellent opportunity for student engagement, highlighting a collection and providing an opportunity for education with Library and Curriculum Support in collaboration with the USSU Pride Centre for Queer History Month in October, during Queerapalooza.
