Gail Bates and other members of the Oshawa Green Party were glad to attend the Durham Pride event held at Heydenshore Park and Pavilion in Whitby yesterday. Working alongside Green members from the Durham and Whitby-Oshawa ridings they helped man a table that brought attention to issues that residents of Oshawa are currently concerned about, predominately the impending vote on the incinerator. Gail Bates was happy to be able to meet voters of the LGBT community and to show her support that Oshawa remains a community that not only embraces diversity but also celebrates it.
