The group is now hiatus. No further group events will be planned until more students step forward to put them on, and be involved with the group. The group's email address (glbt@myokanagan.bc.ca) will be checked occasionally, so feel-free to send an email for contact or if you have an event to promote (no promises how often we will be updating our blog or checking our email for events).
We would like to thank all those that have contacted us, their has been a few of you, and those that have checked our blog from time-to-time. We would also like to thank those that have attended our events (the few events we had). If you are attending or planning to attend a campus other than Penticton it is recommended that you form an independent group on that campus (under different names to prevent confusion), and this group will place events you have on this blog/website.

HISTORY: the Okanagan College Pride Group started Feb. '09. Feel-free to look through the blog to get a feeling of the group.
VISION: To create and maintain an on campus community for Gay, Lesbian, Bi-Sexual, and Transgendered (GLBT) persons at Okanagan College, while at first originating at the Penticton Campus (Winter 2009) and then eventually going college-wide.
MISSION: To organize and promote events that would be of primarily interest to and for GLBT persons (but not to the exclusion of the involvement of non-GLBT persons) at Okanagan College. These events may include awareness of GLBT issues (i.e., anti-homophobia, etc.), but most will be of a social nature (i.e., movies, dinners, etc.).
VISION & MISSION: It is the through the combination of the Vision and Mission statements that GLBT persons can be assisted in transitioning to campus life at Okanagan College
