Calgary Pride: Associate Minister Issik | Déclaration de la ministre associée au sujet du festival de la fierté de Calgary

“Alberta’s government is proud to celebrate the Calgary Pride Festival by raising the Progress Pride flag at McDougall Centre.

“The Calgary Pride Festival is about honouring the courageous 2SLGBTQIA+ Calgarians and their allies who have fought for rights and freedoms so we can celebrate in a province where all are free to be themselves and love who they choose.

“The festival is a symbol of that freedom and, most importantly, it is a symbol of resiliency. Since the late 1980s, Calgary Pride has advocated for and celebrated the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Throughout the years, they have kept the community connected and supported.

“Freedom is a principle that guides all of us in our Alberta identity and it is what makes our province a safe place for all to live and love freely.

“I wish our 2SLGBTQIA+ community a happy and successful Calgary Pride Festival 2021!”
