9 A Message From THE MAYOR OF WINNIPEG It is my honor to welcome everyone attending the 28th annual Pride Winnipeg Festival. The Pride Winnipeg Festival celebrates a strong LGBTTQ* community, and is an opportunity for Winnipeggers to come together each year and to support and celebrate each other in our uniqueness, differences, and diversity. The Festival is an important celebration in Winnipeg, and I would like to recognize the contribution of the organizers and volunteers for making this event possible. On behalf of the City of Winnipeg and City Council colleagues, best wishes for a successful and memorable Festival. Happy Pride! BRIAN BOWMAN Mayor of Winnipeg
