Westport Raises Pride Flags

 

Driving through Westport this week you’ll notice Pride flags flying.  Wesport residents, Jessica Roberts and Neil Kudrinko asked Westport Council to declare an official Pride Week, and raise a Pride flag. As they told CBC's Robyn Bresnahan, “It needs to be said outwardly that you are welcome here, you are safe here, and that your community has your back”.  People who identify as LGBTQ2+ need to know they are safe and Westport is showing that! 

When you are in Westport, Kudrinko’s grocer is an excellent store.  For a start, try the cheese bread they bake daily.
