Fifth annual Central Alberta Pride Week set for August

Central Alberta Pride Week will once again take place this August.

From August 13 to 20, the public is invited to celebrate diversity with members of the LGBTQ+ community, their friends and allies.

“Central Alberta Pride Week is a time to get together as a community to celebrate and honour who we are as persons, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression,” said Serge Gingras, Board Chair.

“It is also a remembrance of LGBTQ+ history, an acknowledgement of past and current struggles here at home, in our community, and in other parts of the world.”

Festivities kick off with Pride in the Park at Bower Ponds on August 13. The event will feature a Mayoral Proclamation followed by an afternoon of live entertainment, food trucks, games and activities for the entire family.
