North Bay Pride 2024 is just around the corner (September 12 -14), and we are thrilled to invite you to participate in this year’s events and celebrations! This is a fantastic opportunity to come together, celebrate our 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and stand up for equality and human rights.
Why Your Support Matters Now More Than Ever
This year, more than ever, we need your presence and support. Our small, close-knit community in Northern Ontario has recently faced a surge in hate and intolerance, reminding us of the importance of standing united. Pride is not just a celebration; it’s a powerful statement of solidarity and resilience. By showing up, we send a strong message that hate has no place in our community. But it’s not just about standing against hate; it’s also about showing that there are people who care deeply for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.
Regardless of our individual differences, we all share the common ground of supporting human rights. Your presence helps to create a visible and supportive environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and included. Together, we can demonstrate that North Bay stands for love, respect, and dignity for all.
