The Pride Toronto Youth Committee will once again dedicate their efforts during Pride Week 2010 to creating more youth specific and youth-friendly events for the Queer Youth Community. Our goal is to increase the visibility, awareness and inclusion of youth within the greater Queer Communities during Pride Week.

Each year, the Pride Toronto Youth Committee organizes a Youth Contingent made up of youth organizations and individuals to march together in the Pride Parade. The Pride Toronto Youth Committee will also continue to have a Youth Contingent in the 2009 Dyke March! The great turn out for it’s first time last year means that we will continue this awesome way for any Youth to participate in the Dyke March festivities.  Whether it’s a group of friends or a single person, all LGBTTIQQ2SA Youth and allies are welcome to march with us in the Parade and Dyke March!

The Youth Contingent aims to increase the visibility of LGBTTIQQ2SA youth during Pride Week by bringing together different queer youth organizations and individuals to march in the Pride Parade (Sunday, June 28th 2009), increasing awareness about queer youth and connecting them with the larger LGBTTIQQ2SA communities that share in the Pride celebrations.

The Youth Contingent will also be a part of the Dyke March. Youth women and trans folk are encouraged to march together in order to further increase the participation and visibility of youth in the Pride Toronto experience.
