University Holds Town Hall for LGBT Themed Crosswalk and Two People Show Up

Cleo Philp of the University of Victoria Students Society, who’s transgender and uses “she/them” pronouns, said she “wasn’t surprised” by the paltry attendance as a few days prior hardly anyone showed for an LGBT staff and faculty “focus group.”

Philp also said the crosswalk meeting didn’t “seem well advertised” and that UVic “should be focusing on tangibly maintaining the safety and inclusion of trans and queer people instead of painting the road in a super duper right way.” She added that the $24,000 paid to the “skilled external consultative group” PeerNetBC feels “like throwing money to the wind” and “could be used in better ways.”

Local art curator and DEI consultant Regan Shrumm, a UVic alum, disagreed, saying “things just take a long time.” A September 13UVic is “doing the real work to support our community and foster a sense of belonging for all who study, work and visit here,” the statement said.
