    Hello and Happy Friday from Pride Collingwood & The Rainbow Club of South Georgian Bay!

    The Rainbow Club of South Georgian Bay invites you to the Collingwood Pride Festival! Join us July 12th and 13th for a free, 2-day outdoor festival that includes a star-studded drag show with Canada’s Drag Race alumni, Jada Shada Hudson, Kimmy Couture, BOA, and season one winner, and star of HBO’s “We’re Here”, Queen Priyanka! Festivities begin Friday, July 12th with the official flag-raising ceremony at 4pm outside of the Collingwood Public Library. Then Saturday, July 13th we are shutting down Simcoe Street with fully licensed festival grounds! You can enjoy local performances in the afternoon, show your pride during the Pride Parade, or bring the kids to the family zone. Love wins in Collingwood!

    “Our focus is connecting people within our community – both our LGBT+ community and our straight allies – making this a community where people feel safe to love who they love,”
    — Michelle Kemper, Rainbow Club President.

    VIDEO: 張哲瀚Zhang Zhehan 紀錄片《八月》

    《八月》是中國演員張哲瀚首次擔任導演的紀錄片,2024年4月14日上線。 該片記錄了張哲瀚在2021年8月突遇網路風暴,演藝人生頃刻被顛倒後的一次自我療愈之旅。 當舞臺與燈光不再,當事業與生活被網路上的不實資訊和惡意扭曲震碎,張哲瀚選擇在兩年後的8月,以自己熱愛的方式向著真實的世界重新出發。從香格里拉到拉薩的騎行之路上,他遇見雪山和冰川,遇見草木牛羊,遇見許多個普通而動人的面孔;他傾聽天地之聲,傾聽陌生人的故事,也傾聽內心的痛和愛。 曾經的8月還未終結,以後的8月依然會來。而這一個《八月》意義非常。 #zhangzhehan_super3 #張哲瀚 #張哲瀚八月 #紀錄片八月 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLwMG6XoJ34&t=11s
