Pride Corner Walks Out Over Police Presence | Calgary News
Description
Tensions flare at this year’s Edmonton Pride Festival as Pride Corner on Whyte pulls out, protesting the presence of the Edmonton Police Service and a proposed police-affiliated march. They argue this undermines safety for Black, Indigenous, Trans, and Queer communities and say withdrawal is their only way to push for true liberation. Organizers defend the security presence as essential for public safety—not endorsement—and note this isn’t the first time such friction has erupted, recalling a 2018 ban after protests.
