Brandon Pride Week got off to a jubilant start on Sunday with a service at Knox United Church in the morning followed by a “Pooch Pride” gathering at the Riverbank Discovery Centre grounds in the afternoon.
The latter event gave members of the LGBTQ+ community and their allies the opportunity to socialize alongside their favourite furry friends, setting the tone for the rest of the week where Brandon Pride is offering multiple activities every single day.
