Your Fierte Fredericton Pride Board 🏳️‍🌈

06/14/2026

Hello Community, 🏳️‍🌈

As a board, we thought best to introduce the team working hard behind the scenes to ensure the Pride Parade and Festival are the best event possible.

This is an effort to step out of our logo and share who we are.

Slide through the pictures to meet your Fierté Fredericton Pride board this year and learn a little about our roles.

Antoinette and Santiago (Co-Chairs), Jonathan (Interim Treasurer), and Sarry (Executive Administrator & Accessibility Director).

As a volunteer board, our goal this year is centred on growth and unification (rather than division).

We believe deeply in keeping the spirit of Pride thriving, and we are actively working to expand Fredericton Pride to make it everything our beautiful community deserves.

Bringing a full scale Pride parade and festival to life is a massive, multi-layered project with a lot of moving parts that take time, care, and dedication to build properly.

Because our vision for expanding Pride is so big, we know it cannot be done in a vacuum, it takes a village!

If you share this passion for growing our local Pride movement, we would love to welcome you to the team. 🌈

We are actively looking for community members to join the board or sign up as volunteers to help us steer this metaphorical ship.

Beyond our core team, there are so many ways to get involved and showcase what makes our community so incredible! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Walk with us!

Our Parade applications are still open! ✨

Showcase your work!

Our Vendor slots are almost all gone! 🎪

We are incredibly grateful to the amazing interest this year to bring your craft to Pride!

Share your talent!

We're actively looking for performers and bands, and would love to hear from you! 🎭

Additionally, you can support the movement by checking out our Sponsorship Packages to see how local businesses and organizations can partner with us.

Where can you find everything? 📍

Every single sign up form, board application, and our sponsorship proposal link is waiting for you in our linktree through our bio! 🌈

(A huge thank you to everyone who stepped up to capture the festival, our photographer slots are now officially full and closed! 📸)

Thank you all for your support, your patience, and your shared love for this community! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

We are so incredibly grateful today! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

A huge, heartfelt thank you to the team at the Wolastoqey Tribal Council for stepping up to support Pride 2026! ✨🌈

By grabbing an Ally Package, they are directly helping us cover the actual costs of running this festival, keeping our events completely free, accessible, and safe for everyone here in Fredericton. 🌈

If you aren't familiar with the Wolastoqey Tribal Council Inc. they are a really incredible non-profit that does vital work across New Brunswick! 🧡

They provide professional and technical support to Wolastoqey communities, which includes St. Mary’s (Sitansisk) right here in town, as well as Kingsclear, Oromocto, Woodstock, Tobique, and Madawaska Maliseet. 🏳️‍🌈❤️

From protecting treaty rights and traditional lands to resource management, their team works around the clock to empower their communities and honour Wolastoqey culture and history!! 👏🏼

To have their backing means everything to us! 💖

True allyship is about action, and we are so honoured to stand alongside them as we work to build a community rooted in real respect and safety on this beautiful traditional territory. 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽🧡

Please join us in showing them some love, and go check out their page to learn more about the crucial work they do every single day!

ATTENTION

Due to some public confusion caused by our recent posts, we want to make the following clarifications:

The Fredericton Police force has not submitted an application to march in the 2026 Pride Parade and Festival.

Q***r service members will be welcome to participate, but will not be marching in their uniforms out of respect for the historic injustices perpetrated by the CAF against 2SLGBTQIA Canadians.

We recently changed our internal policy regarding corporate participation to include local Q***r-owned business which have been barred from the Pride Parade and Festival in the past, but that we feel represents our values and deserves inclusion. In the spirit of fairness and coalition building, we intend to apply this policy to other local businesses who wish to celebrate Pride with us this year.

That said, we have heard the concerns of our community, and feel this discussion deserves our attention and consideration. To that end, we will be hosting a public forum this Sunday, June 14th at 7PM online Meeting to hear from community members on corporate participation in the Fierte Fredericton Pride Parade and Festival.

This will be a moderated discussion to allow everyone equal participation, and there will be zero tolerance for bullying, name calling or other disrespectful behaviours.

Everyone is welcome to join us, and we are looking forward to hearing from you on Sunday.

Meeting link will be posted an hour prior to meeting.

In solidarity,

Fierté Fredericton Pride 🌈

As we're getting everything ready for the festival, we really want to use our space this year to focus on advocacy and lifting up other important causes in our community.

Pride is a celebration, but it's also about standing together.

Right now, we're trying to gather lawn signs, posters, banners, petitions, or anything similar that we can feature at the festival and/or during the parade.

So far, we've acquired White Ribbon Fredericton signature boards and white ribbons for gender violence awareness, and we'll be handing out Moose Hide Campaign pins for Indigenous/Gender based violence advocacy.

We are also trying to get signs together to support the Save Wolastoq's Salmon campaign to protect the hatchery (Wolastoqey Tribal Council Inc.), signs supporting our NB farmers and public vet services, and signs demanding a Free Palestine and an end to genocide.

This is just what we have so far, and a start in some ideas!!

But we want to do more! A LOT MORE! 👀

If there are any lawn signs / banners / etc we can buy, borrow or you could donate for these causes, or if you want to help us out with this, please comment below or send us a DM.

Let us know how you can help or if there are other local advocacy that we should be highlighting.

Tag a Non-Profit you know! ✨

Tag a local advocacy page you love! 💖

Spread the word!

Thanks everyone!

The Board of Fierté Fredericton Pride 🌈
