This year, Calgary Pride is focused on supporting the community garden made of 2SLGBTQ+ organizations in the city and surrounding area. Our garden is made of artists, healthcare workers, business-owners, law makers, and everything in between; the uniting factor is the desire for everyone to learn and grow. Together, we will flourish while staying true to our roots and centering the joys and struggles facing the Calgary community.
Join us in celebrating a season of blossoming love, growth, and Pride!
