Welcome
Welcome to all our qathet region LGBTQIA2S+ Community, Allies, Friends, Family and Neighbours.
The qathet Pride Society is a non-profit community run organization, working on behalf of our members and the community to help us connect, celebrate and make a difference in the lives of all who live here.
Connection. Celebration. Inclusion. Diversity. Education. Equality.
Our goal is to represent you and the community, in producing our annual Pride celebration, and community events that allow us to connect — creating friendships and community. Safe and inclusive. A celebration of who we are as individuals and as a community together.
With respect and gratitude, we recognize that we live, work, and play on the traditional, homelands of the Tla’amin Nation and Coast Salish People since time immemorial.
Join Us Saturday April 1, 2023 for a community conversation to explore the future of Pride in qathet.
Is our annual celebration a picnic in the park or a week long event? Is June or August preferred? Are year round events needed to help us connect? Do we have a role in advocacy and education? What might we create if we cultivated partnerships with community groups like qathet Arts, local venues, the Chamber, local governments, Tla’amin Nation, the School District?
This facilitated round-table discussion sets out to hear what you see, imagine safe queer spaces, imagine all your need being met here in qathet, what might that look like?
