Our very own Andy Lafleur Bell received a Rainbow Champion Award for their contributions to the 2SLGBTQI+ community in Lanark County. This award is given to individuals, organizations and local businesses that have significantly advocated and supported the 2SLGBTQI+ community.

If you know Andy or have ever had any interaction with them at the library, you’ll know first and foremost, they are one of the kindest and most inclusive people you’ll ever meet.

Andy has a remarkable gift for creating spaces where people feel welcome, seen, and safe. Through their leadership of the Q***r Sphere Crafting Circle, they have provided local LGBTQIA+ youth and allies with more than just an afterschool program — they have created a place of connection, creativity, and belonging. For young people especially, having that kind of affirming space can be truly life-changing.

Andy also organized Family Pride Connect, giving families of 2SLGBTQIA+ people an opportunity to come together, support one another, and build understanding and community.

What makes Andy’s contribution especially meaningful is that their impact goes far beyond their programming. As a visibly Trans staff member in a very public-facing role, Andy brings kindness, empathy, humour, and a genuine openness to their daily interactions with library visitors. Simply by being themselves and meeting people with warmth and humanity, they have helped increase positive visibility for the local trans community and have made our library, and our wider community, feel more inclusive and welcoming.

Andy was awarded this honour in Perth along with three others on June 6th, 2026, after the Pride Parade in Last Duel Park by Q***r Connection Lanark.

Congratulations, Andy! We are so proud of you!

Huge thank you to @bbbslanarkcounty Sara Jane Manning for the loan of the tent! Without it I may have melted. 😜 Thanks to @prideinperth for the invite and holding such a fantastic event. We met a lady who brought three preteens with her from Almonte as they wanted to see a Pride Parade and they ended up participating in it! They wanted to share in the love 💕 that was all around! @tanya_king_official is the epitome of the show must go on performing in those heels 👠 in the rain! ☔️
