Dyke March
Dyke March 2011: 2nd July @ 2pm
What is the Dyke March Event?
Welcome to Pride Toronto's annual Dyke March. The Dyke March is a grassroots event where women and trans people in LGBTTIQQ2SA communities take over the streets of Toronto. The Dyke March is not a parade - it is a political demonstration of critical mass; a moment seized to revel in the strength, diversity and passion of LGBTTIQQ2SA women and trans folk.
We encourage groups to work within the theme for Pride Week 2011 in order to express their values. Raise your voice! Join us as we celebrate our diversity, our passion and our pride.
The Dyke March is organized by the Dyke March Committee, based on the Guiding Principles created from the 2006/2007 Community Consultations. The Dyke March Committee, the Dyke March, and all other events organized by the Dyke March Committee are trans inclusive.

Registering Online
Because of the incredible growth of the march, we need your help in order to prepare a safe marching route. Individual marchers are welcome to register, though it is not required. We do however, ask that all participating groups and organizations register in order to assist our planning. Registration for vehicle entries and sound systems is mandatory.
