March was cancelled following concerns from Black Lives Matter Sudbury about police presence at march
Pride Week activities in Sudbury were kicked off with an official flag raising event at city hall Monday morning and barely a mention of cancellation over the weekend of Sudbury’s annual pride march.
In the Facebook posting, Fierté Sudbury Pride wrote: "We have met with the Mayor and requested that we be allowed to march led by our volunteer marshals; however, currently bylaws and restrictions through the Highway Traffic Act do not allow organizations to use city roads without police in place as traffic control."
The BLM statement mentioned incidents involving police at the Stonewall Inn in New York city in 1969 and bathhouse raids involving police in Toronto in 1981. The statement did not specifically mention any incidents in Sudbury or anything involving local police. Laur O'Gorman, vice president of Fierté Sudbury Pride, was one of the key speakers at the city hall ceremony.
