A
WORD FROM THE CO-PRESIDENTS
An International Rendez-Vous
with Sports and Culture!
The
vision of the 1st World Outgames Montréal 2006 Organizing Committee
is to orchestrate a magnificent gathering of gays,
lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders (GLBT) and heterosexuals
to celebrate sports and culture together in North
America's City of Festivals.
The
1st World
Outgames will make an important contribution to
the advancement of the rights and freedoms of
gay communities worldwide. In addition to the
sport and cultural activities, there will also
be an International Conference on GLBT rights,
which will be held three days before the opening
of the Outgames. This "Rendez-Vous" in 2006 will
show how a truly enlightened society respects
all its members.
Our
goal is nothing short of capturing the hearts
and minds of the world by presenting an event
filled with creativity and originality that celebrates
personal and collective achievement. This event
will leave an important legacy and serve as a
source of inspiration for all the Outgames to
come.
We
are firmly committed to delivering an event where
sport will be practiced without discrimination
of any kind, where the presence of the gay and
lesbian, bisexual and transgender communities
are celebrated through sport and culture, and
where participants will have an experience of
a lifetime in a city celebrated for its world-class
hospitality.
See
you in Montréal for an unforgettable experience!
