I got emotional reading a book during Pride Storytime
I got to read a book during Pride Storytime at the Jasper Public Library and became surprisingly emotional during it! I had to hold back the tears a couple times as I read to the kids about a little boy who felt different and how he dealt with those feelings. That was just one of the activities I took part in during the Jasper Pride & Ski Festival, which you'll see in this YouTube video of my visit!
Jasper is a diverse and inclusive community in Alberta, Canada and they welcome visitors from all over the world. That includes LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, with businesses proudly displaying Pride stickers during their 10 day festival.

Another version of this video that includes the restaurants we ate at is also airing on TV in Canada. OUTtv is the Canadian LGBTQ TV station and they're showing 4 minute episodes of my trips in between regular programming in a segment called "Josh Rimer Travels". There are over 1.2 million Canadians who have that TV channel and my series airs on it almost every day, keeping viewers updated on LGBT-friendly destinations that they should consider checking out too!
