Our vision is a Canadian society that embraces and values our inherent diversity.

OUR STORY

pflag Durham Region was formed in Oshawa, Ontario, in 2003, through the work of Durham residents, Francine Doucette and Lindsey Clarke. Francine and Lindsey had the passion for helping other families to understand and to accept as Francine’s son, who was Lindsey’s best friend, had recently come out. Francine and Lindsey connected with other pflag Chapters such as pflag Toronto to get the information and guidance needed. Later they became a Chapter of pflag Canada when the national organization was formed.
