Pride Montreal

There was a festive mood across downtown Montreal on Sunday, August 13, 2023, as the city's Pride parade drew a record number of participants one year after the 2022 event was abruptly cancelled.

An independent investigation will be held into Pride Montreal's last-minute cancellation over the weekend of its emblematic parade, the City of Montreal announced on Tuesday, August 9, 2022.

Pride Montreal, the organization that runs the city's annual celebration of LGBTQ communities, is conducting an internal investigation after it abruptly cancelled the official Pride parade on Sunday, August 9, 2022.

The parade was cancelled hours before it was to get underway on Sunday, August 7, 2022, citing security concerns stemming from a lack of volunteers for the event.
