The 46th annual Vancouver Pride Parade -- the oldest pride parade in Canada -- attracted hundreds of thousands of people to downtown Vancouver on Sunday, August 4th to celebrate and support the LGBTQ2+ community. A team of 12 mainly young adults participated as a Rotary contingent marching with the City of Vancouver entry. The parade ran from Davie and Denman Streets, through the West End on Beach Avenue and Pacific Street and ended at a festival in the vacant land east of B.C. Place. -- photo courtesy of CBC
