Not all Pride parades happen in June, so why is June called Pride Month?
June is often when Pride is celebrated, due to important history Pride parades will be taking place all summer long. So why is June called Pride Month? Some, like those in Toronto, Ontario, party in June, while others, like Edmontonians (in Alberta), save the celebrations for August. Although the timing differs, June is the main month that Pride is honoured for most. And it's for a significant reason. June is an important month for 2SLGBTQ+ history. Stonewall riots took place in June The story of Stonewall is why Pride takes place in June. On June 28, 1969, police raided the Stonewall Inn, a bar in New York City, New York. The bar was a place where lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer people and allies could gather. Police said they were looking for evidence of illegal alcohol sales. WATCH — The history of the Pride movement and its importance today Others said the raid was in response to the large presence of 2SLGBTQ+ people. At the time, people could be arrested for participating in homosexual relations and dressing in clothes opposite your gender in New York. As arrests began to happen, many 2SLGBTQ+ people and their allies fought back against police, protesting and causing a riot.

The Canadian government calls it 'Pride Season.' WATCH — What does Pride mean to these teens? Pride celebrations occur at different times across Canada for a variety of reasons.

The tides of change for endangered whales
With a population of 372, North Atlantic right whales are critically endangered. Although whaling is no longer a threat, human interactions still pose the greatest risks to the species. Recovering this population requires measures to mitigate fishing-gear entanglements, vessel strikes, ocean noise pollution and climate change. Success hinges on co-ordinated actions across the Canada-U.S. border. Here's a high-level timeline of critical policy and management measures taken by both countries, over the past century, along with the continuing challenges and achievements in protecting the species. The Globe and Mail will continue to update this timeline for the duration of the Entangled series. This reporting was produced for The Globe and Mail's Entangled series in partnership with the Pulitzer Center's Ocean Reporting are more instalments from the series.
