Pride month is an opportunity to raise voices, awareness and visibility for the community, share resources and tools while fostering a diverse and safe environment where individuals are free to express their true selves without fear or hate.
MAHCP is proud to celebrate the 2SLGBTQQIA+ community and march in the Winnipeg Pride Parade on June 1, 2025!
The theme of this year’s Pride Festival is “Rise in Pride, Stand in Strength“, calling on Manitobans to rise together in unity and strength, celebrating resistance and joy.
Join us to champion unity and diversity as we walk alongside other unions affiliated with the Manitoba Federation of Labour. Show up and show your support!
