Celebrating unity and inclusion at the Rainbow flag raising ceremony



In her address, Northcott CEO Liz Forsyth emphasised the importance of the event, saying, “The Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras represents a celebration of inclusion, diversity, and self-expression. Northcott is proud to support our LGBTQIA+ customers and staff, enabling them to participate in the parade and be celebrated for who they are.”
The day was also filled with creative and fun activities, including costume making, sign designing, and float decoration, along with a specially made rainbow cake, shared by customers, staff, and allies of the LGBTQIA+ community.


This Rainbow flag raising ceremony serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of inclusion, diversity, and equal representation for all individuals, regardless of their identity. Northcott, Afford, and CPA continue to work together to create an environment where everyone, including people with disability, are empowered to be their authentic selves and celebrated for who they are.
