Trailblazers - March 2 - May 31, 2021
What does it mean to be a trailblazer? This title is given to individuals who clear a path that was not there, who take risks, and show people what is possible.
The Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre (BCM&CC) is proud to present 'Trailblazers', an exhibition created by The Canadian Centre for Gender + Sexual Diversity (CCGSD). This exhibition highlights Canadians who have led the way for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and includes a Bruce County native, Jim Egan, who was a prominent activist widely known for his role in the landmark Supreme Court Case Egan v. Canada. Learn more about the lives and work of these remarkable individuals who have acted as a voice for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and advocated for equal rights and freedoms in Canada.
