The week included a Trans Pride event held in my riding, which culminated with the youth organized Halton Pride picnic in Burlington.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4435761\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Thanks to people like Beckham Ronaghan, youth coordinator for Positive Space Network, which organizes the annual event, along with its youth action committee members Sonali Patel, Taylor Carusi, MC Kowal, and my friend Tyler Wisner, this year's event again offered a safe place for Halton youth to celebrate who they are. Community groups set up displays and music filled the air as young and the young at heart joined in the celebration.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4435762\" data-originallang=\"en\"> With young people like these inspiring not only their LGBTQ2 peers but the entire Halton community, I am hopeful they will help Oakville and Burlington continue to build a safe and inclusive community where love is stronger than hate. </p>",
