Thousands attend Steinbach Manitoba’s first Pride
CUPE members from across Manitoba came together to march in solidarity in Steinbach Manitoba’s first annual Pride parade and celebration, Saturday July 9th.
While organizers originally expected roughly 200 participants, Manitobans gathered in numbers estimated between 3,000 and 5,000 to march, cheer, and support the Steinbach LGBTTI community.
“CUPE is proud to have participated in such an historic event,” said Kelly Moist, President of CUPE Manitoba.
CUPE at Steinbach Pride
This Saturday will be Steinbach's first ever Pride March and celebration, and we are hoping to have a strong CUPE presence there. We will be marching down the streets of Steinbach in support of our LGBTTQ* members and allies.
The march will begin from E.A. Friesen Park, and we are suggesting that CUPE folks meet and gather right outside of the park, at the corner of Elm St and Elmdale St.
