Live Educate Transform Society (formerly Creating Accessible Neighbourhoods) went on a tour, with Vancouver Pride Society, of the new parade route and festival location. We worked with them on imagining how the new festival space could be designed.
It was great to walk the new parade route and see all the great changes and access opportunities. We are excited by the new festival location and the increased space for attendees.
We continue to consult with VPS as they get closer to Pride season. We will be attending the events and offering feedback on what was accessible and where they have work to do. VPS is very much aware that this is an ongoing process and their staff are committed to doing the necessary work. We are proud to continue to work with Vancouver Pride Society and hope that other Pride organizations take notice and evaluate their own accessibility.
