The week of Aug 19-26 has been proclaimed Pride Week in North Battleford and a number of events are slated to happen over the coming week.
Already, the Pride volunteers have completed rainbow crosswalks in front of North Battleford Public Library and also in front of Battleford town hall.
Wednesday was scheduled for a raising of the Pride flag at North Battleford City Hall.
Battlefords Pride is also sponsoring Movie Night this Thursday at the Capitol Annex. The movie is Bohemian Rhapsody and admission is by donation.
Saturday will see an informal fundraiser barbecue in Central Park with a walk scheduled at 2 p.m.
Ending the week is a Drag Show at she-NANIGANS on Aug 26, featuring performers who originally hail from the Battlefords. Organizer Kelly Waters says due to COVID-19, they have limited capacity for all events now.
“Table groupings or parties are organized in advance with two metres between each table. There is hand sanitizer on each table and at the door. Masks are also available at the door.”
Waters also noted the Pride crosswalks in front of the North Battleford Public Library and Battleford Town Hall have been re-painted.
