Wellington stands with Orlando
Wellington’s Michael Fowler Centre will be lit in colours of the rainbow this evening as a gesture of support for the
LGBTI victims of the Pulse nightclub attack in Orlando, Florida.
Mayor Celia Wade-Brown says Wellingtonians have reacted in horror to the news of the massacre. “This is a multi-cultural
capital city - we welcome diversity of expression.
“I express my deepest sympathies to the families and friends of the victims,” she says.
Mayor Wade-Brown says she will join others at the Stand for Orlando event scheduled to start in Frank Kitts Park at six
o’clock this evening.
