The Edmonton Queer History Project is hoping to spread awareness of LGBTQ2+ history in the city through a new walking tour, podcast and Pride timeline.

The app's creator hopes it can be used to compliment Alberta high school curriculum as well as offer a guided walking tour through important locations for Edmonton's LGBTQ history.

While students learn about the suffrage movement and the equal rights, LGBTQ history is not often discussed in the classroom, according to an assistant Education professor at the University of Alberta.
