  • Pride Toronto is an annual event held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, in June each year. A celebration of the diversity of the LGBT community in the Greater Toronto Area, it is one of the largest organized gay pride festivals in the world, featuring several stages with live performers and DJs, several licensed venues, a large Dyke March, a Trans March and the Pride Parade. The centre of the festival is the city's Church and Wellesley village, while the parade and marches are primarily routed along the nearby Yonge Street, Gerrard Street and Bloor Street. In 2014, the event served as the fourth international WorldPride, and was much larger than standard Toronto Prides. The event is organized by Pride Toronto, a non-profit organization. A growing complement of fourteen staff support the work of 22 festival teams; each team is responsible for an aspect of the festival. Each team was formerly administered by two or three volunteer team leads; in 2019, the decision was made to strip that down to one lead per team in favour of a staff-centered approach. The long-term vision for, and strategic oversight of, the organization and the festival is intended to be managed by 12 volunteers on the board of directors. As of March 2020, the board consists of six members. For most of its history, Pride was a seven-to-ten day festival centred on the final week in June, with the parade falling on either the last weekend in June or the first weekend in July depending on the year's circumstances. Since 2016, the entire month of June has been declared Pride month, with a program of events throughout the month leading up to the parade. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, the organization's in-person Pride festivities for 2020 and 2021 – including the Trans March, the Dyke March and the Pride parade – were cancelled. Virtual Pride Month festivities and an online "parade" took place in both years. The organization's most recent executive director, serving from 2017 to 2020, was Olivia Nuamah. She was appointed in February 2017 to succeed Mathieu Chantelois, who led the organization from 2015 to 2016. (en)
  • La semaine de la fierté, ou Pride Week en anglais, est une grande manifestation des fiertés homosexuelles qui a lieu chaque année dans la ville de Toronto, dans la province de l'Ontario, au Canada. Se déroulant sur une dizaine de jours, durant la période de la fête du Canada à la fin du mois de juin, elle se compose de différents événements se déroulant tout au long de la semaine dans le quartier gay de Toronto, Church and Wellesley, et de plusieurs marches des fiertés, dont la Dyke March, la marche de la fierté lesbienne, et la Pride Parade, la marche des fiertés homosexuelles. La semaine de la fierté est née à la suite des en 1981, période de répression policière féroce à l'encontre de la communauté homosexuelle de la ville. L'événement s'est au fil du temps institutionnalisé, l'événement s'ouvrant par exemple sur un discours d'un représentant du maire ou du maire lui-même, celui-ci participant également à la marche, accompagné du hissage du drapeau de la communauté LGBT (lesbienne, gay, bisexuelle et transgenre) à l'Hôtel de ville durant le temps des festivités.
