It was rainbows and sunshine in Shamrock Park this past Saturday as Pembroke held its annual Pride festivities celebrating the LGBTQ2S+ community in the Valley.
Music, arts and crafts, and tasty eats were the order of the day as many gathered in a welcoming environment to celebrate diversity, inclusion, and community spirit.
Activities extended beyond the park itself, with businesses throughout downtown Pembroke taking part in Pride Month celebrations. Participating businesses decorated storefront windows and offered Pride-themed products, promotions, and activities.
The event received support from a number of sponsors, including Pflag Canada, District 28 OSSTF, the City of Pembroke through its Community Recreation Grant Program, Renfrew County Teachers’ Local ETFO, Meridian Credit Union, and Michaels.
