History
At its annual general meeting (AGM) in 2015, the organization formally launched Canada Pride/Fierté Canada, a program modelled on WorldPride which will see a different Canadian city host a national Canada Pride festival every two years.[2] The first Canada Pride was held in Montreal, Quebec in 2017, in conjunction with the city's regular Fierté Montréal.[2]
At the 2017 AGM, Pride Winnipeg was selected to host the second edition of Canada Pride/Fierté Canada which was to take place May 22–31, 2020.[3] It was later delayed to 2022 due to the COVID pandemic. At the AGM, delegates also voted in favour of Calgary Pride hosting the 2018 conference and general meeting.
