THE PRIDE WALK - AUGUST 15 AT 1PM

On Sunday, August 15, meet us at Parc Jeanne-Mance, at the corner of avenue du Mont-Royal and avenue du Parc, for the unmissable Pride walk (without a motorized vehicle and float due to sanitary measures). The march, in order to give full attention to the voices of 2SLGBTQI + communities, will begin at 1 p.m. southbound on Park Avenue, where the march will continue until the intersection of René-Lévesque Boulevard to head East before turning left on Atateken and ending in the Village, on rue Sainte-Catherine. At 2:30 p.m., the traditional minute of silence will be held, in memory of those who have suffered from AIDS and homophobia.
