ABOUT US
–
The Pride Winnipeg Festival runs annually and consists of an array of cultural events that celebrate the incredibly diverse community that supports or identifies with the 2SLGBTQ+ community.
We respectfully recognize that Pride Winnipeg takes place on Treaty One Territory; the traditional lands of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Anisininew, Dakota, and Dene Peoples, and on the homeland of the Red River Métis Nation. We acknowledge that we source our water from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation.
We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
Since 1987, Pride Winnipeg serves the 2SLGBTQ+ community by celebrating our fights, victories, and reasons to be proud.
We have 16 Board Members and 30 Managing Members, who help organize Pride Winnipeg’s year-round activities, and over 200 volunteers on average who help deliver the Pride Week activities.
Average number of hours our volunteers contribute every year to make Pride Winnipeg come to life.

Fierté Canada Pride
Fierté Canada Pride est un organisme canadien sans but lucratif constitué en personne morale qui se consacre au réseautage, au soutien et à l'expansion des événements de la Fierté qui se déroulent partout au Canada. Cet organisme réunit des groupes de la Fierté de partout au pays, ce qui leur permet de s'exprimer d'une seule voix en faveur du financement des arts et de la culture, des initiatives gouvernementales et de l'égalité des droits.
InterPride
InterPride est une association internationale de coordonnateurs qui promeuvent la fierté lesbienne, gaie, bisexuelle et transgenre. Fierté Winnipeg s'est joint à InterPride en 2003 lorsque l’organisme a participé à la conférence internationale qui avait été tenue à Montréal.
Ces événements ont permis de relier la ville de Winnipeg à d’autres organismes internationaux de la Fierté et ont inspiré d'excellentes idées pour la planification de cette célébration compliquée, mais enrichissante.
Pride Winnipeg has continued to attend Canadian Region 7 conferences as well as the International conference when possible. Winnipeg was proud to host the last Canadian Region 7 Conference in 2005 .
