Day of Pink

TMS honoured to be asked by Unifor Local 111’s Pride Committee to help them celebrate

April 10th marks International Day of Pink. The Day of Pink is a worldwide anti-bullying and anti-homophobia event held annually during the second week of April. Though similar to Pink Shirt Day (held in February) in that it also seeks to end all bullying, the Day of Pink is more specifically aimed towards anti-LGBTQ+ bullying. The Unifor Local 111 Pride Committee held a special event on the previous evening at the 12th St. Union Hall recognizing the special day. TMS was invited to attend.

“It was Wednesday night from 6:30pm -9pm. We were asked to set up a table to introduce ourselves. The was a DJ, videos, entertainment including Mandy Kamp, and some goodies. Myself, Lawrence, Rob, Bryan , and Angus represented us., and Dale popped in. We were also helping sell Pink t shirts for the union. We were greeted with open arms and it was very informative and we all enjoyed ourselves.”

New Board & Appointees

This past Friday (7th May 2025), members met to elect a new Board of Directors. Two members of the old Board decided not to seek re-election: TMS wants to thank Sue & Lawrence Walker for their service as directors and their guidance in its affairs. (Although they will ‘step back somewhat’ from their other roles within the Society, they will still be active members. Sue will help in Sales, Lawrence will continue to organize our Events attendance.)

Members re-elected the remaining six directors; they elected Evan Russell and Savannah Dewolf to fill the remaining two seats. Welcome, Evan & Savannah!

The new Board then elected the Executive positions: Bryan Larrabee returns as President; Michael Taylor-Noonan as Vice President, Angus McIntyre as Treasurer and Jason Sharpe as Secretary.

The Board met in-camera on Sunday, 9th March, to fill various positions within the Society. At the Friday meeting, members were asked to show interest in being appointed to these positions. For some roles, the Board felt a committee would best be able to handle the responsibilities, in other cases the role was given to one person to act alone or as a ‘supervisor’ to those who generously offered to help. Over the next few weeks, we’ll organize things, and get everyone ‘up to speed’.
