We would like to extend our immense gratitude to each and every one of our partners, past and present.
A few years ago, we unveiled a new partnership structure, one which considers each applicant’s social impact to bring about diversity, equity and inclusion and developing programs that support 2SLGBTQIA+ and intersecting communities. The response has been overwhelmingly positive. If you are interested in learning more about our partnership program, please contact us.
Thank you to our Victoria Pride 2024 partners who have made the festival possible and a special acknowledgement to our Legacy Partners, the ones who have been on this journey with the Victoria Pride Society from our humble beginnings and have supported us through all these years.

The Victoria Pride Society acknowledges that it organizes and works on the traditional territories of the Lekwungen Peoples and that the land’s relationships with the Songhees, Esquimalt, and W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples have existed since time immemorial. Further to this acknowledgement, the Victoria Pride Society affirms that colonialism and the attitudes and practices that have accompanied it contribute to systemic discrimination and violence against Indigenous Peoples and all marginalized and equity-deserving people.
