Yellowknife held its first Pride parade Sunday. "As a young, formerly-closeted gay kid who grew up here and saw what it was like in the '90s, to see where it's kind of evolved from, it's incredibly heartening and important," says Yellowknife City Councillor Garett Cochrane. The CBC's Graham Shishkov was there.
Pride feels different for many in the 2SLGBTQ community this year, due to a rise in what advocates call harmful rhetoric, particularly targeting trans people.
An all-candidates city council forum on Yellowknife business involved several suggestions for social programs that could assist the homeless population and the downtown.
