The Ontario Heritage Trust and Borderland Pride will be unveiling a provincial heritage plaque to commemorate Dianna Boileau, Dr. Harold Challis, and transgender rights in Ontario.
This historic event will take place on Friday, March 31st — the International Transgender Day of Visibility — at the Fort Frances Museum and Cultural Centre at 1pm.
The plaque will be permanently installed in front of La Verendrye Hospital following the ceremony and small reception.
Dianna was the first Canadian to receive gender-affirming surgery. She received support navigating the uncharted medical landscape from physician Dr. Challis in Fort Frances.
Dianna's ground-breaking autobiography (Behold I Am A Woman) provided a public face for transition when few existed. Her courage and conviction helped bring awareness to transgender rights and medical transition.
