ABOUT THE VICTORIA PRIDE FESTIVAL
Presented by the Victoria Pride Society, the Victoria Pride Festival provides opportunities for local 2SLGBTQIA+ communities to be visible, to celebrate, to advocate and to feel connected to community.

ABOUT THE VICTORIA PRIDE SOCIETY
VPS creates opportunities for visibility, collaboration, ongoing conversations and celebration as we work towards equity for all community members who are Gender, Sexuality and/or Relationship Diverse (GSRD).
The Victoria Pride Society acknowledges that it organizes and works on the traditional territories of the Lekwungen peoples, and that the land’s historical relationships with the Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples have existed since time immemorial. Further to this acknowledgement, the Victoria Pride Society affirms that colonialism, and the attitudes and practices that have accompanied it, contributes to systemic discrimination and violence against Indigenous Peoples.
