CANADIAN SOLDIERS REPRESENT IN TORONTO'S PRIDE PARADE 2008

A Couple days late but i wanted to post this because this is another example of why being Canadian rocks!!! This past Sunday, members of Canada's Armed Forces represented the military in Toronto's annual Gay Pride parade For the first time.

Lt. Steven Churm, one of 10 soldiers from across the country who marched in
uniform, said their presence sends a message that the Canadian military is
inclusive and an equal-opportunity employer.

"The message to the public is that the Canadian Forces is an employer of
choice. We have employment opportunities that people can pursue, regardless of
gender identity, sexual orientation," he told CBC News.

"For our own members, they can be proud of what they're doing and also be proud of who they are."

To mark its place in the festivities, the Canadian Forces set up an information booth in an area of the city where thousands of people gathered for the start of the parade. [SOURCE]
