Pride flags will be raised across PEI, including at UPEI, in recognition of the PEI Pride Festival, which celebrates the diversity of gender identity, sexual orientation, and gender expression.

The University will fly the Progress Pride flag for the duration of the Festival in front of Kelley Memorial Building and at UPEI Alumni Canada Games Place.

The UPEI Student Union will be participating in the 2022 Pride Parade and invites all students, staff and faculty to join them by meeting at 12 noon, Saturday, July 23, on Terry Fox Drive in the parking lot behind the provincial government buildings. Look for the Panther Patrol van! The parade begins at 12:30 pm and ends approximately at 1:00 pm.

All you need to do to join the UPEI parade team is to be yourself and be ready to wave and cheer. If you like, you can purchase a UPEI Pride t-shirt from the bookstore or you can make your own!

Wear a UPEI shirt or hat and add a little Pride colour!

Immediately after the parade, join us for games on the field in Victoria Park. For a full schedule of the week's events, check out PEI Pride Festival 2022.

If you’re unable to make it to the Parade, don your bright rainbow colours all week to express your support for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

Come show your Pride!
