Capital Pride Parade 2024: Ottawa Celebrates LGBTQ+ Community Amid Controversy

Ottawa: Thousands are expected to celebrate the Capital’s LGBTQ+ community in downtown Ottawa during this year’s Capital Pride Parade, despite changes following backlash over a statement on Israel’s actions in Gaza.

Organizers revealed that the Ottawa Police and City informed them of these adjustments after months of planning. In other news, New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs criticized legal actions targeting healthcare professionals, while Chatham-Kent police reported a street closure due to a residential fire. Additionally, police in northeastern Ontario reminded parents and drivers about school safety as students return to class.
