  • To support the integrity of Pride Collingwood and ensure that businesses participating over Pride Weekend are genuinely aligned with our mission, we've introduced a $500 partnership fee for Pride weekend events.

    This helps us:
    🌈 Ensure that participating businesses are truly committed to supporting the 2SLGBTQIA+ community year-round, not just during Pride.
    🌈 Provide resources and guidance to help businesses create inclusive, meaningful events that reflect the spirit of Pride.
    🌈 Prevent the commercialization of Pride without genuine support for the community ("rainbow-washing").

    Your contribution directly supports Pride Collingwood’s programming, operations, and ongoing work to foster a safer, more inclusive community.

    Thank you for helping us keep Pride authentic, vibrant, and community-focused!

  • No, if you are already a sponsor of $500 or more, your event fee is waived.d

  • An Event Partner of Pride Collingwood has gone through a screening process conducted by The Rainbow Club of South Georgian Bay and has gone thorough sensitivity training.
