Pride Toronto 2024 Welcome and Events

On May 31, I raised the flag outside City Hall to mark the beginning of Pride Month. This is the time to celebrate Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer love, culture, and history. Pride Month is also a time of reflection, acknowledging the challenges that our communities face to be proud and to be true to their identity.

The City of Toronto is home to some of the world’s largest Pride events, and I encourage everyone to attend and participate in festivities. As Chair of the City’s 2SLGBTQ+ Advisory Committee, we strive to create an inclusive and welcoming experience in Toronto. I have created a list of some events that are happening during Pride Weekend in Toronto; I hope to see you there!
