This year, we won’t have a Pride parade or street festival. There are no in-person community meetups.


It’s especially easy these days to feel isolated as a Queer person – it’s harder to be visible and to see other visible 2SLGBTQIA+ folks. Some of our initiatives have included successfully petitioning for the addition of all-gender washrooms at the studio, updating our orientation materials to be more inclusive, working with the studio to participate in the 2019 Toronto Pride Parade, fundraising, and more. We’ve existed for two years (Pride just so happens to be our anniversary!) and have worked towards making our studio a better place for everyone. Our mission is to advocate for equality, representation, and opportunities within our studio, and the greater industry at large. Hi! I’m Gav, one of the co-organizers of Rainbow 6ix (the ERG, not the game), Ubisoft Toronto’s most fabulous 2SLGBTQIA+ Employee Resource Group. It’s Pride season in Toronto! Get out your rainbow flags, slather on some sunscreen, and… stay indoors? Again?

Today we’re excited to hear from Gav Sarafian, Developer on Far Cry 6, and co-organizer of Rainbow 6ix, the LGBTQ2S+ Employee Resource Group at Ubisoft. Welcome to “From our Team,” where different employees of Ubisoft Toronto share a little behind the scenes of the community, culture, and values of our studio.
