The City is committed to addressing the unique challenges facing 2SLGBTQ+ communities to build a more inclusive and equitable city. Torontonians are encouraged to reach out, connect to support each other and celebrate together. Pride Month brings Torontonians together to celebrate the history, courage and diversity of Toronto’s Two Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Intersex, Queer, Questioning, communities (2SLGBTQ+). The Progress Pride flag will also be raised at all civic centres today to kick off Pride Month. This was the first in-person flag raising ceremony for Pride Month since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
On June 1, 2022, Mayor John Tory, Members of Council and representatives from Pride Toronto raised the Progress Pride flag at City Hall to proclaim Pride Month in Toronto.
