Eddy Elmer and Hanna Acorn of the 2SLGBTQ+ Advisory Committee to the City of Vancouver nominated Chris Morrissey for a Proclamation. On Tuesday July 22, 2025 representatives of advocacy groups which have been spearheaded by Chris attended to witness this posthumous honour. Mayor Ken Sim and City Councilors took turns reading portions the Proclamation. It reads, in part, Whereas Chris Morrissey was a lifelong advocate for 2SLGBTQ+ rights and helped to improve the well-being of countless individuals through activism, legal reform and compassionate care. Copies of the Proclamation will hang in the meeting places of LEGIT, Rainbow Refugee, QMUNITY and QUIRK-E to reflect our gratitude and to inspire those who would follow her example.
