I am proud that our city celebrates Pride. This is a time for everyone in our city to come together and recognize the experiences, contributions and achievements of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and to cultivate places and opportunities to engage in inclusive ways that honour, respect and embrace the role of pride in shaping our city.
