To commemorate Pride Month, the community held its first ever Pride parade on June 18.
Hundreds of people assembled for the parade, followed by a celebration at the Somba K’e Plaza.
The 黑料吃瓜网 Mosaic Network hosted the event with help from Yellowknife Pride. Members of both organizations helped serve hot dogs, burgers, popcorn and beverages following the parade.
One of the people invited to speak at the event was Caroline Wawzonek, Minister Responsible for the Status of Women.
She talked about the work the legislative assembly has been doing as part of their national action plan and said that her title may change soon because of a bill that is before the assembly to change it to “Status of Women and Gender Diversity.”
