THUNDER BAY – Thunder Bay–Atikokan MPP Kevin Holland is pushing back against criticism over his absence from recent Pride events in his riding, specifically rejecting a claim that he ignored requests to meet with a local LGBTQ+ organization.

Kauppi said the Progressive Conservative MPP has "ghosted" requests for meetings, while noting his absence from flag raisings and other Pride events in June.
