About us:

Our Mission
Guelph Pride celebrates diversity, education, and visibility within the 2SLGBTQI+ communities and beyond. We do this by continuously advocating for accessibility and inclusivity through self-reflection, creativity, and a knowledge of our radical histories. Guelph Pride is committed to creating belonging, safety, culture, and comfort for 2SLGBTQI+ people in Guelph and beyond.

Our Vision
Our vision is to create our future by embracing and honouring our radical histories. By appreciating and creating more opportunities for diverse voices to be heard, empowering new leaders to emerge, and fostering connections within our communities, we hope to contribute to a thriving 2SLGBTQI+ community in Guelph.

Our Mandate
Celebrating diversity in fabulous ways. Providing annual programming, education, events, and access to resources.
Staying accountable to our communities by collecting and integrating feedback. Creating innovative outreach within Guelph and Wellington County and surrounding areas to expand knowledge of Pride and foster strong relationships with individuals, families, communities, organizations, sponsors, and supporters, and those who need us most.
