John and I are very proud to be sponsoring the 2nd Annual Barrie Pride Parade taking place downtown on June 13th at 2:00 pm. I was honoured to help carry the banner at the front of the parade last year and look forward to doing so again this year. 
What is Pride all about? If you have a look at their website you’ll see the following statement:
‘Barrie Pride is a group of local citizens dedicated to providing opportunities to everyone through events, community partnerships and celebrations designed to bring our entire city together in the celebration of LGBTQ Pride, History and Diversity.
The Barrie Pride mission statement includes Honouring, Protecting and Valuing Diversity. These messages are at the core of why we do what we do – to give the Barrie LGBTQ community a voice.
‘
So, come on our and join us along the parade route…I look forward to seeing you all!
