About

Minto Pride was founded in 2019 and operates as a working group within the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee, a committee of council of the Town of Minto

Run by a small group of volunteers, Minto Pride encourages inclusion, and increases visibility, of the LGBTQ2S+ community in the Town of Minto, while promoting education on the diversity of gender, sex and sexual identity.

Harriston, Palmerston, and Clifford are diverse and growing communities in Minto. We strive to bring people from a variety of walks of life together to create a shared society where there is room to learn from, socialize with, and get to know each other.

We celebrate Pride by holding events and advocating for the LGBTQ2S+ community. Past events have included our annual Pride in Park event in June, Drag nights, Socials, Hikes, Trivia nights, and more.

Since the creation of our group, we’ve successfully advocated for the Pride flag to be flown at Town Hall during June, presented to Council on the importance of Pride, and fundraised for the installation of an Inclusive Pride Crosswalk in Harriston, and Pride Banners in Harriston, Palmerston and Clifford.

These are small steps on the rural road of equity that led to making Minto a place where all families want to belong.
