A group of protestors briefly blocked the Winnipeg Pride Parade.
Images from the parade showed a group of people standing in a line to block the downtown Winnipeg event at Portage Avenue and Fort Street.
A news release from a group of protestors says they are demanding that Pride Winnipeg end its “complicity with genocide, divest from corporate pinkwashing, remove police from Pride, and centre QTBIPOC leadership.”
The blockade ended after roughly 20 minutes, with the parading moving again shortly after noon.
This is a developing story. More details to come.
