We are thrilled to share that Subaru Of Orillia is a sponsor for our Pride March – how iconic! 💅

Their support is helping cover the cost of the road closure, supporting the march with safe passage and visibility.

Subaru has a long history of supporting and marketing to the LGBTQ+ community, dating back to the 1990s, when the brand became known for authentically recognizing and celebrating the LGBTQ+ community at a time when most companies were not.

We are proud to see this tradition continued by our locally owned Subaru dealership.

Thank you, Subaru of Orillia, for helping us create a safer, welcoming, and joyful Pride celebration!
