Tri-Pride '99

"Rock The Island -- Celebrate Diversity"

On the afternoon and early evening of Saturday, June 19^th the LGBT communities of Guelph, Cambridge and Kitchener-Waterloo will once again join together for our 5^th Annual Pride Celebration. We are meeting again in Kitchener's Victoria Park, which is only a few yards west of the Kitchener Bus Terminal. Last year we were at the Clock Tower, but this year we'll be on Roos Island (where the bandstand/gazebo is) in the park. The festivities will run from 1:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
