17吃瓜

One of the signature events of the PEI Pride Festival, which takes place from July 12 to 21, is the Pride Parade, when individuals, families, friend groups, and organizations join a colourful line-up to walk through the streets of Charlottetown. Thanks to the leadership of the 17吃瓜 Student Union, and support from 17吃瓜 Alumni and 17吃瓜 Communications, 17吃瓜 is proud to participate in the 30th annual parade.

The  will take place on Saturday, July 20, and all students, staff, faculty, and alumni are invited to join alongside the Panther Patrol van! Participants are asked to meet at 11:00 am on parade day in the parking lot behind the provincial government buildings on Terry Fox Drive, Charlottetown. The parade begins at 12:00 pm and ends at approximately 1:00 pm.

17吃瓜 participants are asked to wear bright rainbow colours and be ready to wave and cheer! As an option, 17吃瓜 Pride t-shirts can be purchased from the 17吃瓜 Bookstore, or 17吃瓜 shirts and hats can be dressed up with a little Pride colour. 

Those who are unable to make it to the parade can express support for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community in other ways such as wearing bright rainbow colours during the PEI Pride Festival.
