You are invited to join Unifor members, activists and allies this Pride season as we hit the streets this year for Toronto Pride. 

Our union is proud to fight for the rights of 2SLGBTQIA+ workers and their families and celebrate the worker power we’re building together to fight back hard against regressive policies and divisive political rhetoric. 

This year’s pride parade is an important moment to come together as a union to extend our solidarity and show our unwavering support to progress, equity, and inclusion.

Tips for a great Pride parade: 

  • Show Your Unifor Pride! Wear your Unifor Pride t-shirts if you have them and bring your local union flags. 
  • Facilities: Washrooms are available along Bloor Street for marchers. 
  • Stay hydrated and protected: Bring water, snacks, sunscreen, and anything else to keep you hydrated and protected from the elements. 
  • Weather: The parade is rain or shine, so come prepared. 
  • Environmental impact: This year’s parade aims to lessen its environmental impact. Only hybrid or battery-electric vehicles are allowed, and large trucks are not permitted. Unifor will have a small vehicle for members who need mobility assistance.
