The Queen City Pride Festival is another event pushing back its date in response to the coronavirus pandemic. In a statement sent out Wednesday morning, Regina Pride announced the festival is being postponed until the end of September.
No firm date has yet been set. “For many people, Pride is more than ‘another summer festival.’ Pride was born out of protest and continues to be an essential movement today.
It’s the one opportunity each year where folks can come together and feel connected, feel loved, and know that they’re not alone,” Regina Pride co-chair Dan Shier said. “We acknowledge that postponing our festival will leave folks feeling isolated, especially right now when everyone is practicing physical distancing and staying home.
