Proud to be able to work so closely with them, the Vancouver Pride Society (VPS) has become one of the world’s largest and most organized pride societies, establishing themselves as an international leader of organizing grassroots events at a large scale. The VPS’ mandate is to bring together the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) community through the promotion of diversity and equal opportunity by organizing and producing inclusive events, such as the annual Pride Parade, which draws over 500,000 people to Downtown Vancouver.
