North Grenville, Ont. holds annual Pride parade
The month of June is Pride Month in Canada, held as a national observance for the rights of the LGBTQ2S+ community and as a reflection about its history.
On Sunday in Kemptville, Ont., North Grenville held its annual Pride parade.
'We have an amazing community here, a community that is more and more and more openly committing to inclusion and integration and safety for everyone,' says Diane Dewing, administrator of NG Pride, who organized the parade.
The parade featured a handful of representatives from local schools, companies, members of the Ontario Provincial Police, Family and Children's Services, the Kemptville Legion, and more.
The parade lasted roughly one hour Sunday morning, leading into an after-party at the Kemptville Campus community centre where over two-dozen food vendors are selling food and drinks until 5:00 p.m.
'It's so much fun. We have an amazing lineup of entertainment. We have music, we have singers, we have drag artists,' said Dewing.
More details to come.
