River of Pride will hold its annual Pride parade in downtown Moncton on Saturday.
The Anglophone East School District’s superintendent, Randy MacLEAN, has been named the grand marshal.
He shared that this role is a true honour and privilege, adding he has been a strong advocate for creating a safe and inclusive environment for all community members.
“Over the last several months and several years, there’s been a fair amount of disinformation, hate bashing, as well as other pieces that have made our gay and trans and two-spirit community feel marginalized,” said MacLEAN.
The Pride parade will be held in downtown Moncton from 2 to 2:30 p.m.
