To reflect on those changes and the impact of Pride festivities over the years, the CBC spoke with Michael Robach, the director of development at Qmunity, a Vancouver-based non-profit that works to improve the lives of queer, trans, and two-spirit people.

Protected walking and cycling path officially open on Vancouver's Granville Bridge

Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim and others appear at a ribbon-cutting for the Granville Connector, on July 25, 2025. The Granville Connector has officially opened to the public. Officials said the protected walking and cycling path along the busy Granville Street Bridge provides a 'comfortable' new route in and out of Vancouver's downtown core. Mayor Ken Sim called the infrastructure, which resembles a similar path on the Burrard Street Bridge, a 'pretty huge step forward' in terms of making the city more inclusive, sustainable and livable. 'You deserve to get around our city safely and easily,' Sim said Friday, at a ribbon-cutting for the Granville Connector. Installing the path meant removing two lanes of traffic on the bridge. The city also demolished the north loops that were initially designed to accommodate a high-volume freeway into downtown that was never built. The loops have been replaced with a standard street-grid layout, opening up city-owned land that will be used for future housing, officials said. In total, the project cost approximately $54 million, $8 million of which was contributed by TransLink.
