Around this time last year, we were marching in the Victoria Pride Parade to show our support for an accepting and inclusive community. Although we are sad that this year's parade, like many other beloved events, was cancelled, we know the spirit of PRIDE remains. The @victoriapridesociety is running virtual events from tomorrow, June 28, until July 5 - head to the website (victoriapridesociety.org) for more info! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤⠀ -⠀ 📸: @colinsmithtakespics - Colin has been sharing photos from past parades on his account and each shot brings us so much joy! Thank you 🙏⠀ -⠀ #downtownyyj #yyj #yyjpride #yyjcommunity #covid_19 #victoriabc #victoriaprideparade #yyjprideparade #yyjlove

Hey Victoria-lovers! 👋 ⠀ ⠀ Let's just take a minute, okay? These last few months have been unimaginable, and although we're all adjusting to the "new normal," well, it still doesn't feel normal at all... ⠀ ⠀ Thankfully, we are all in this together. We all feel the impacts of the pandemic, making us more empathetic to each other's challenges. Let's not lose sight of the power of community now!⠀ ⠀ Today, we just want to say THANK YOU! Thank you for championing each other, thank you for staying kind, calm, and safe (thanks Bonnie Henry!), and thank you for supporting local businesses and nonprofits. Thank you, thank you, thank you!⠀ ⠀ Virtual hugs all around 🤗⠀ ⠀ With love from the Downtown Victoria Business Association⠀ (Photo from @marketsquarevic - thank you for brightening our feed and our city with these beautiful flowers!)
