Seating is first come, first served at this popular event, but we have arranged for a group of seats in the VIP area. If you are interested in joining our President and other delegates, please notify us at michael@ilglaw.org.

Did you know that Toronto had an openly gay judge 200 years ago? After the service, check out the newly unveiled statue to magistrate Alexander Wood located nearby on Church Street.

This parade is one of the world's largest, attracting over 1 million participants and spectators. It is very apt to be holding our conference in conjunction with Pride Parade's 25^th silver anniversary.

For people who wish to march with our contingent, we are meeting 1:00 PM at a park called Harold Town (named after a Toronto artist). The park is on Church St. at Yonge St. beside the Canadian Tire Store Parking lot. We look forward to seeing ALL of you.

We encourage you to either wear distinctive clothing (e.g. a T-shirt that says “Australia” or a cap saying “Hong Kong”), or to carry a small flag that identifies your native country. Please do wear a hat or cap, comfortable clothes and shoes – the parade takes several hours and it is usually sunny and hot!

Welcome to Toronto! Wine and cheese reception at Toronto City Hall. Registration. Greetings from dignitaries. Sponsored by the City of Toronto and Councillor Kyle Rae.

Dress for this event is casual. You need not change from the Parade if you do not wish to do so. During our opening ceremonies, we will be paying special tribute to Canada’s First Nations (formerly called “Indians”) The First Nations had progressive and welcoming attitudes toward their sexual minorities before contact with Europeans.
