“Due to a mixture of pandemic exhaustion and a lack of volunteers, it is not possible to hold these events this year. “The rally and parade require a lot of planning and human effort,” explained Matthieu Villeneuve, president of Fierté Timmins Pride. The most notable change, the organizing committee stated in a release this week, will be the absence of a rally and subsequent parade - events that have become the cornerstone of the Pride movement.
