Following the parading contingents, all attendees are invited to join the march and to conclude the Pride Parade in a festive and citizen-like manner. Come march or attend the parade to show your support for the 2SLGBTQIA+ communities! Approximately 2.2km long, the route will symbolically begin in the former 2SLGBTQIA+ sector to the west (at the corner of René-Lévesque Blvd. and Metcalfe St.) and end in the heart of the current Village to the east (at the corner of René-Lévesque Blvd. and Atataken St.). MOMENT OF SILENCE The moment of silence is scheduled for 2:15pm. We ask that you stop all music and noise at this time. This moment is dedicated to remembering the lives we lost far too soon to AIDS, lesbophobia, homophobia, biphobia and transphobia. We also take this time to commemorate the lives of missing or murdered Indigenous women, girls, children, and Two-Spirit or LGBTQIA+ people. May this moment of reflection inspire us and guide us for the rest of our actions. THEME – We Are The Rainbow! We Are The Rainbow is a rallying cry, inspired by the fight for the recognition and respect of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities’ rights. It is a re-appropriation of the rainbow. It is a more inclusive evolution of its meaning. We Are The Rainbow. We are the possibilities. We are what’s to come. AFTER THE PARADE After the Pride Parade, join the party at the Olympic Park’s Esplanade for the Mega T-Dance.
