Pride Week launched in North Battleford
The weather may be overcast and chilly in North Battleford, but the colours of the rainbow now fill the sky.
Pride Week officially kicked off with a flag-raising ceremony outside city hall on Monday. The aim of the week is to show support for the LGBTQ+ community and promote diversity.
This marks the third year of the annual event in the Battlefords that will include a parade on Saturday, Aug. 24.
“We want people who live and visit here to feel safe and to feel pride in who they are, and to be who they are,” Mayor Ryan Bater said.
