The Grande Prairie Pride Society launched its Friends of Pride initiative in 2020 to showcase businesses in the Peace Country who are committed to supporting the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. In exchange for supporting Pride efforts year-round, including partnerships with local agencies, members receive early access to ticketed Pride events, Pride merchandise, a Friends of Pride decal/logo for business use, and recognition on the Pride website.
The Grande Prairie Pride Society launched our first “Friends of Pride” initiative in 2020 to showcase people, non-profits and businesses in the Peace Country who are committed to supporting the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. It has been incredible to continue to see the individual and commercial support all around us. We are reminded with each new and returning Friends of Pride application of the kind hearts and generosity that reside throughout our region.
In 2025, we are looking forward to continuing to offer large-scale Pride events during the month of June, to grow our Small Community Event offerings year-round in the Grande Prairie area, to direct members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community to much-needed resources, and continuing to improve awareness, inclusivity, visibility and support.
By becoming a Friends of Pride, you are helping the Grande Prairie Pride Society work on these goals and more. Thank you for joining us in our mandate of creating safe and inclusive spaces for self-expression, as well as to promote equality and to celebrate the diversity of our 2SLGBTQIA+ community and its allies.
Life gets better together!
