This Pride Month, we honour and stand in solidarity with our members and activists who continue to work tirelessly to help advance LGBTQ2+ rights. Under the realities of COVID-19, we know that Pride will look very different than in previous years. But as people on the Prairies typically are, Pride organisers are getting creative with the events that they are hosting.  Find events in your community.  Manitoba Winnipeg Pride September 4-13, 2020 www.pridewinnipeg.com
