Join RRU in the Victoria Pride Parade

RRU is once again participating in the annual Victoria Pride Parade on July 9!

All students, staff, faculty, family and friends are welcome to join the parade contingent.  Scooters, wheelchairs and strollers are also welcome!  The shared responsibilities of the parade-goers include tossing candy, holding the RRU Proud banner and waving. 

Marshalling area and route

Parade participants should arrive between 10:30 and10:45 a.m.  We will have an RRU greeter at the fountain in Centennial Square (beside Victoria City Hall) who can help point participants to our location in the parade line-up.  Bussing into town is recommended. Those who are driving may want to consider parking their vehicle closer to the end of the parade route, or somewhere along the way.

The parade will start at 11 a.m. at Douglas Street and Pandora Avenue and head south on Douglas Street. The parade will turn right at Humboldt Street, left on Government Street, right on Belleville Street and left on Menzies. 

The parade will end at Menzies and Kingston Streets. and will arrive at MacDonald Park at around 1 p.m., where the Pride Festival will be in full swing.
