Saskatoon Pride and OUTSaskatoon have partnered together to create a non-partisan equitably scored report card in order to grade provincial political parties regarding their plans, commitments to, and support for Saskatchewan’s 2SLGBTQ+ community. We asked all six provincial political parties four questions, providing them a platform to speak about LGBTQ2S issues.

Your voice needs to be heard. You are the face and voice of Saskatoon Pride. We wish to create a diverse and inclusive organization and to reflect all our communities in our celebration of Pride. All Saskatoon Pride events and initiatives are reviewed to ensure they embrace these ideals. 2020 has been a year of challenge as the pandemic forced us to find ways for our community members to connect virtually and express their Pride, connect with others, and to support and centre the voices of Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour to create awareness of systemic injustice and our individual and collective responsibility to make change.

Two Spirit people are an integral part of the fabric of Saskatoon’s queer community. Saskatoon Pride presents a celebration of two spirit artists and allies from Saskatchewan and across Turtle Island. We hope it is one of many steps on the path to reconciliation and inclusion. Listen, learn, and above all, enjoy the gifts and voices of the Two Spirit Ball.

Saskatoon stepped up when Saskatoon Pride was unable to hold its usual Pride Parade due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There was an outpouring of love and support for the two spirit and queer community from across the community. The parade included a segment from the Black Lives Matter Saskatoon chapter and from Idle No More. The Virtual Parade is call to the 2020 theme of Saskatoon Pride: "Be Strong. Be Proud. Be You."
