This year Toronto Pride 2016 will be for a whole month. June 1 to July 3. I should have posted this earlier, however, the July 1-3 will be the best part of it. July 1 is also Canada's birthday so there will be a whole lot of partying going on Friday. http://www.pridetoronto.com/pride-month/ I had gone to the one in Toronto numerous times and was planning on going again this year but I am low on cash so will have to miss it this year. I will go to the one where I live here in Ottawa in August. August 15 - 21. http://ottawacapitalpride.ca/ I had gone to this one last year for my first time. Bonnie
