Surrey has Pride too!

Out In Suburbia (OIS) Rainbow Cultural Society is gearing up to celebrate its 10th Anniversary Surrey Pride from Friday July 10th through Sunday July 12th.

We have been organizing and hosting PRIDE since 1999. We are a non for profit group that hosts dances, and cruises and other events to raise money to support other Charities of the GLBT community. We do scholarships to help GLBT youth and young adults carry on with their school studies. We also help the HIV Food Bank in Surrey as well as continue to host other events for the GLBT community to come out and be themselves.

Friday, July 10th is our Youth PRIDE Dance for ages 14-22. It is taking place at the Newton Resource Centre; it is an alcohol and drug free dance being put on by Surrey Youth Alliance (SYA) for more info on attending please contact Robert at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
