Guelph Pride 2008

Guelph Pride exists to organize an annual event to celebrate and bring together Guelph's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, Two-Spirited, Intersex, Queer and Questioning (LGBTTIQQ) community, their friends, families and allies of all ages in a safe, welcoming environment.

June of 2003 saw Guelph's first annual Pride Picnic. A need had been recognized for Guelph to host its own Pride event for LGBTTSIQQ people, their family, friends and allies. Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo and Toronto are destinations for their annual Pride celebrations, and it was felt that Guelphites would benefit from a fun and family-friendly event of our own.

Our goals have been to provide visibility to LGBTTSIQQ people and allies, and to promote volunteerism within the queer community of Guelph. We provide opportunity for people to learn about and access various local social service groups.

Of course we also want to have a great time!
