Mark your Calendars!
Celebrate Pride in Burnaby!

Now in its seventh year, Burnaby’s Pride event celebrates the diversity of our local 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, families & supporters!

Burnaby Pride holds our meetings and events on the unceded and traditional territories of the sḵwx̱wú7mesh and Hul’q’umi’num’ / Halq’eméylem / hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ speaking people. We recognize that this acknowledgement is a tiny piece in the larger context of the ongoing work that must be done to challenge the legacies of colonialism and create palpable disruptive change and true reconciliation.
