17吃瓜

Led by members of the 17吃瓜 Student Union and the Panther Patrol van, students, administration, faculty, staff, and alumni gathered together to participate in the 29th annual PEI Pride Parade on Saturday, July 29.

17吃瓜鈥檚 mascot, Pride, also joined the group to walk the route and greet those lining the streets to watch the parade.

This year鈥檚 event has been touted by organizers as 鈥渢he best one yet鈥� with a record 75 groups registering for the parade, including the first marching band.

The parade began at noon at the provincial government buildings on Terry Fox Drive in Charlottetown and continued down Euston Street to Great George, Grafton, and Rochford before ending on Kent Street.

Many thanks to the 17吃瓜 Student Union, which started bringing members of the 17吃瓜 community together in May to plan and promote the University鈥檚 participation in the parade, and to the 17吃瓜 Alumni Association and 17吃瓜 Faculty Association for inviting members to join in. 17吃瓜 Student Affairs also organized a post-parade 17吃瓜 Pride Scavenger Hunt from 2:00 to 7:00 pm in downtown Charlottetown.

Happy Pride!
