This weekend, Winnipegosis takes up their Rainbow flags for their 3rd Annual Pride Event.
Cyndie Blythe, Pride Coordinator for Winnipegosis Pride, is thrilled to organize this community event.
"We're just there to make sure everyone knows we're there, but we're also there to send a very loud message to anybody in the community who might be questioning, who might be wondering about their own sexuality or gender identity. To say 'Life can be very good here, there's a lot of people you can have as role models', and here we are."
The weekend starts Friday, with a presentation from Dr. Shayne Reitmeyer, titled "An Introduction to Sexuality and Gender."
The next day is when the party begins.
"Saturday, we're having an event on the Boulevard. Its from 11 am to 4 pm. It's 100% family-friendly, absolutely everyone is welcome. We'll have drag queen story times and family friendly performances right there on the boulevard."
The parade rolls out after the performances wrap up at 4, touring around the town.
The day will also be filled with all sorts of fun, food, local vendors, music, information, and more.
