Lambton Shores is marking Pride month, flying the Pride flags at local municipal buildings sending what officials say is a “powerful message of solidarity and acceptance to all its residents.”

The community held a brief ceremony at the municipal office in Port Franks this morning.

In a news release, Kathy Bressette, of the North Lambton Community Health Centre, and Crystal Fach of Diversity Ed said “

This Pride flag raising is about more than just symbolism; it’s about creating a sense of belonging for every member of our community. Our youth need to know that they are seen, heard, and supported here. By embracing diversity, we are building a stronger, more inclusive community for generations to come.”
