The Prince George Pride Society has gathered today (June 1st) at the City Hall to officially raise the flag in honor of the Pride Month. Before the flag was raised, Acting Mayor Tim Bennett addressed the crowd and delivered a brief speech, officially proclaiming May 29 to June 4 as Pride Week in the City of Prince George.
In addition to the official proclamation, Prince George has planned various events throughout the week to celebrate Pride Month. One of the highlights will be the Pride Parade, which had been partially canceled due to COVID-19.
The parade is scheduled for Saturday, June 3, commencing at 10 a.m. It will follow the route along Brunswick Street, 4th Avenue, and George Street, while the Canada Games Plaza will host vendors and food trucks from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
