MISSION
The Gender Equity Centre is a centre for all Lakehead University students.
We initiate and support positive Feminist-Womanist action concerning gender, socio-economic status, ethnicity, religion, culture, family life, sexual orientation, gender identity and difference in physical or mental abilities.
Working from an anti-oppressive and feminist framework, this is a safe and inclusive place to meet new people, access resources, and get involved. We encourage communication, action, awareness, self-reflection and compassion.
LUSU Radio Hour every Thursday, 10-11 am and Queer Radio on Mondays, 6-7 pm. Visit LU radio.ca for the live-stream & more cool shows!

Hedley is coming to Thunder Bay this Friday (March 16th, 2018). The concert was initially slated to happen at Fort William Gardens, but is now taking place at the Community Auditorium.
A few things about this:
1) The Fort William Gardens Ticket Office is providing refunds for this concert to anyone who no longer wasn’t to attend. If your tickets are still at the box office, you can just call them and you should be able to cancel right then and there. If you have your tickets in-hand, go to the box office with your tickets and whatever you used to pay, and you should be able to get your refund. Refunds can also happen through Ticketmaster.
2) There is going to be a protest happening. This is being coordinated by Chris Roy (djluv25@yahoo.com). Folks will meet in by the off-leash dog park across the road at 5:30pm. Feel free to bring posters and signs. There will be buttons, leaflets and other material about consent available for concertgoers.
Hedley returns to stage in Brampton, Ont. with no apologies after hiatus announcement
