International Grand Marshal

Pride Toronto's first International Grand Marshal was selected in 2006 to lead the Pride Parade. The process of selection of an International Grand Marshal highlights the role of the organization in the continued movement against queer human rights abuses face by our brothers and sisters worldwide.

In solidarity with LGBTTIQQ2SA communities around the world through our human rights campaign, we honour those International Grand Marshals who have joined with us to lead Pride Parades in the past:
