Pride North of 55 will hold their annual Pride celebrations this Saturday starting at 11 am at the TRCC north entrance.

 

From there, a march will be held down Thompson Drive to City Hall where the Pride flag will be raised.

 

Chairperson for Pride North of 55, Harlie Pruder explains why it’s important to hold the annual celebrations.

 

“It’s really just a time for us to all come together and to remind ourselves, first of all, that we matter, that we are important and it’s also to show the larger community the importance of celebrating to us lgbtq+ individuals and our contributions.”

 

Pruder said that while levels of inclusiveness and representation seem to be growing, many are still struggling with their identity and feel alone.
