🌈 What a night to remember! 🌈 The Freedom Soirée 2024 was bigger, brighter, and bolder than ever, bringing together our amazing community to celebrate freedom, cheer each other on, and raise vital funds for LGBTQI+ refugees and newcomers in Eastern Ontario. We couldn’t be more proud or more grateful for everyone who came out to support our mission! This magical evening wouldn't have been possible without the heart and hustle of our CRR Board, CRR Staff, fantastic volunteers, and most importantly the organizing committee who made every detail shine.
