Caitlin Hartlen
Since leaving her morning show position in Fort Frances and moving to Dryden in 2020, Caitlin (She/her) has taken on a new role with the Dryden Native Friendship Centre, engaging Indigenous youth in healthy activities and nutrition, while navigating the challenges of delivering social services during a pandemic. She also hosts a queer podcast called Out of Context, launched in 2020. Caitlin is nothing if not passionate about advocacy for the queer community, especially in the realms of inclusion and intersectionality, and is excited to continue her work with Fierté Canada Pride.
Caitlin now lives in the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe and Métis people of Treaty Three. The Anishinaabe are the original caretakers of this land and called this place Paawidigong, meaning "place of the rapids", which is now known as Dryden. This land is important to the people of Migisi Sahgaigan (Eagle Lake First Nation), Waabigonii Zaaga’igan (Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation) as well as the Métis people of the area and the residents of Dryden

Azza Rojbi
I would like to acknowledge the ancestral, traditional and unceded territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) nations on which I live, work and learn. I hope you will join me in taking a moment to reflect on the responsibility we each have to Indigenous nations to recognize, respect and support their historic and inalienable rights.

Jacq Brasseur
Jacq Brasseur (they/them) is a francophone, bigender, bisexual, white settler who was born and raised in Yellowknife, NT and has been involved in Pride organizing since they were a teenager. Owing their success to the original founders of OutNorth, Jacq was part of a group of passionate queer and allied Northerners who co-founded NWT Pride in 2012, the first multi-day Pride festival in the Northwest Territories. Because of their love of Pride festival organizing, Jacq became the first Northern Regional Director of Fierté Canada Pride, from 2017-2019, where they advocated for a more inclusive organization for Northern and youth-led Prides. In 2018, Jacq was honoured to be named as a Grand Marshal of Fierté Montréal Pride.
Jacq is also a co-founder of the Rainbow Coalition of Yellowknife and was part of the team that opened the first 2SLGBTQ+ youth centre in Northern Canada. After their departure as Executive Director of the Rainbow Coalition of Yellowknife, Jacq joined the UR Pride Centre for Sexuality and Gender Diversity, a 2SLGBTQ+ community centre in Regina, Saskatchewan, as their Executive Director in May 2017. Since coming to Regina, Jacq has been actively involved in 2SLGBTQ+ organizing as a founding board member of The Enchanté Network / Le réseau Enchanté in 2019 and as the Treasurer/Secretary of TransSask Support Services, Inc. from 2017-2019.
In their new role as National Director for Fierté Canada Pride, Jacq is excited to bring their knowledge of grant-writing, non-profit governance, and alternative decision-making models to the organization. They are also excited about supporting the expertise of the FCP Councils and developing non-hierarchical or decentralized structures that prioritize the voices of Two-Spirit & Indigiqueer people, Black people, queer & trans People of Colour, trans & non-binary femmes, and trans women in Pride movements across this country.
When they’re not working, Jacq enjoys watching good tv, doing graphic design, playing video games, and eating cactus cut potatoes from Boston Pizza.

Jackie (she/her) is a Black African femme living and working on the occupied Coast Salish territories of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Peoples.
Jackie is eternally grateful to Indigenous folks who have cared for and stewarded the land since time immemorial and continue to do so.
She spends her time curating spaces for dialogue and participating in mutual aid efforts in her community. She has been intentional in dedicating time to learn her indigenous languages and speak them more often. Recently, she has been focusing on holding valuable spaces of care for Black youth and practicing resource redistribution. Jackie spends her time reveling in the optimism of Afro-futurist worlds of solidarity, joy, and Black liberation.
In her role as the new FCP Program Manager, Jackie is excited about building capacity among the team and the communities we seek to serve.
