The former Chairperson of Joburg Pride, Tracey Sandilands (2007), who is now the Executive Director of Pride Toronto in Canada has sent a message of support for Joburg Pride 2009!
Hi everyone
I know it's Joburg Pride this weekend (been following the communications :-) and I would like to wish you all the best from everyone at Pride Toronto. I'll be with you there in spirit (is it really only a year since I was there for Pride?) and maybe in a year or two I'll be able to attend again. I hope you have a fantastic time and that it's an unequivocal success.
Tracey Sandilands
