Fierté Canada Pride is a Canadian organization, which represents and is composed of organizers of local LGBT pride festivals in Canada,[1] as well as serving as the Canadian chapter (Region 7) of InterPride.[1] Many, but not all, pride festivals in Canada are members of the organization.

The organization's mission is to promote pride events on a national level, through networking, advocacy work, and member education on aspects such as event planning, marketing, sponsorship and media relations.[2]

At its annual general meeting in 2015, the organization formally launched Canada Pride/Fierté Canada, a program modelled on WorldPride which will see a different Canadian city host a national Canada Pride festival every four years.[3] The first Canada Pride will be held in Montreal, Quebec in 2017, in conjunction with the city's regular Fierté Montréal.[3]

The organization's AGM in 2015 was held in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.[1] Its 2016 AGM will be held in London, Ontario.[1]

Past AGMs have been held in Winnipeg in February of 2014, Ottawa in February of 2013, Kelowna in March of 2012, Halifax in March of 2011, Toronto in March of 2010, Montreal in 2009, and Vancouver in 2008.

Organization structure

Fierté Canada Pride is a registered federal not-for-profit organization that is led by a president and a board of directors. The board is composed of: vice-president governance, vice-president membership, secretary, treasurer, and representatives in several regions of Canada.
