2024–2025 Canada LGBTQIA+ Pride and Ski Week Calendar – LGBTQIA+ Pride Festivals in Toronto, Montréal, Vancouver, and more
Some of the world’s most popular LGBTQIA+ Pride festivals take place in Canada, including what’s sometimes described as the largest, Toronto Pride (see my Toronto Gay Guide for tips and what to see and do in this vibrant city). But Montréal, Vancouver, Calgary, Halifax, Ottawa, and Québec City also all hold big Pride events every year, as do dozens of smaller communities, such as Salt Spring Island in BC and Charlottetown on Prince Edward Island, where the vibe is a bit more laid-back than in the bigger cities.
