Capital Pride

Capital Pride is the organization behind Ottawa–Gatineau's annual Pride festival and parade, held each August. Its mission is to create opportunities to celebrate, advocate, educate and connect people, respecting the full diversity of the 2SLGBTQ+ community. Each year it honours local community leaders through a Grand Marshal and Honoured Group who lead the Pride Parade. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors and relies on volunteers and a seasonal festival operations team to deliver its events.
