Calgary’s downtown core was filled with rainbow-coloured flags, drag queens and kings, flashy outfits, decked out floats and thousands upon thousands of people on Sunday.
The celebration of the city’s first Pride parade since the pandemic welcomed more than 160 entries onto the route down Ninth Avenue.
The event was led by the Rainbow Elders and Calgary LGBTQ2S+ pioneer, Lois Szabo who was the founder of one of the very first gay clubs in Calgary in the 1960s and recently honoured with a park named after in the city’s Beltline neighbourhood.“It's unbelievable to see this and it never dawned on me that we could be out here like this. It's so good to be back.
“It's sending a message to the world about the real Calgary and not the cartoon stereotype that we have,” said Gondek. “This a place that loves people and you can see it in the crowd, you can see it on the city council, that’s who we are.” Sunday’s parade was also very special not just for Calgarians but also tourists from across the province and western Canada.Here at
