PETERBOROUGH PRIDE 2009 www.peterboroughpride.ca PRIDE WEEK 19-27 SEPT Photo courtesy of J.C. Gonder Peterborough Pride – A Brief History In 2003, a group of bold and courageous individuals organized Peterborough’s 1st Gay Pride parade and Mayor Sylvia Sutherland officially proclaimed September 13th as Gay Pride Day. On that occasion, over 300 people participated in the parade.The proclamation was a strong statement endorsing the importance of diversity in our community. www.creemoresprings.com In 2005, Peterborough Pride participants celebrated the passing of Bill C-38 (the equal marriage bill) when Parliament spoke clearly and loudly in proclaiming that all couples, regardless of gender, are equal in value and equal in law in every province and territory of our country. For the past 6 years, the Peterborough Pride Committee, made up of representatives of community organizations along with community volunteers, encouraged by overwhelming support from post-secondary institutions, individuals, community service agencies and business people in Peterborough, committed to making the Peterborough Pride an annual celebration. Each year the celebrations have expanded to include more events, a bigger parade, community fair, and pride follies. Now a Pride Week, the celebration has become a cornerstone opportunity for the community to gather and express itself publicly. Show Me Love! The 7th Peterborough Pride celebration, Show Me Love; reaches back 40 years to the “summer of love” at Woodstock and the demand for rights and recognition that the Stonewall riots inspired. Come out, remember our past, take a stand for our future, share some love, and have the time of your life! We are all worthy of love. This year the parade ends at Charlotte Street which will be closed to traffic between George and Water. Stick around and take in the performances, booths, bbq, and more! 2 | Peterborough Pride 2009 (between George & Aylmer) Building Community Since 1993 www.rainbowservice.org facebook: rainbow service organization email: [email protected] Volunteer run non-profit based in Peterborough mind over matter tattoo piercing 230 charlotte street Peterborough Pride 2009 | 3 Pride Follies Special Thanks for the support of the Saturday September 26th Market Hall, Peterborough 8:00pm start – $5 at the door Innovation Fund www.peterborough.ca Featuring performances by: • Singer song-writer Dinah Thorpe • The Amazing Sheesha • Spoken word from Ziy and friends • Classic drag performers Kevin and Sean • High energy girl-band the Estrogems www.markethall.org and the Peterborough Lakefield Community Police Service Rainbow Health Ontario www.peterboroughpolice.com www.rainbowhealthontario.ca “This kind of precocious is precious and altogether rare.
