Happy Pride! Blue Ant celebrated Pride Month with our annual internal Pride Extravaganza event. This year, our employees put their wits to the test as they were quizzed on 2SLGBTQI+ knowledge, from history to pop culture. We were lucky to be joined by Aurora Matrix (Canada's Drag Race, Season 4 Runner Up) and Trevor Boris (Canada's Drag Race + Canada vs. the World, Showrunner and Executive Producer) who slayed the house down as our Trivia hosts. Beyond the celebration, Pride is a reminder of the importance of 2SLGBTQI+ rights and acceptance globally. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how Blue Ant and our employees celebrated Pride. 📸: Jean Kwan
