Pride Month is an opportunity to raise voices, awareness, and visibility for the community by gathering, celebrating, and sharing resources and tools. It’s about 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 as we march in the Winnipeg Pride Parade on June 7, 2026!
The theme of this year’s Pride Festival is “Celebrate YOU!”, calling on Manitobans to send a message of encouragement and endurance from one community member to another.
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!
