March 20th 2026 is Two Spirit and Indigenous LGBTQQIA+ Celebration and Awareness Day.  

"The goal of the recurring awareness day will be the centring and celebration of the radiance and diversity of Two-Spirit identities, expression, and experience across Turtle Island. Indigenous-led organizations across so-called Canada are invited to join us in the proclamation of spring equinox as Two-Spirit and Indigenous LGBTQQIA+ Celebration and Awareness Day by hosting local events, demonstrations, and celebrations in solidarity with satellite events happening across the country."
