March with Humanist Association of Ottawa & CFI Ontario at Ottawa Pride Parade
Humanists believe in equal rights for all. We are appalled at the faith-based bigotry often directed towards homosexuals. To demonstrate our support for gay rights, and to increase awareness of our organization in the Ottawa community, we will have a group of marchers in the Pride Parade downtown this Sunday (August 30th). The invitation is open to anyone to come and march with us. If you are a member and have an atheist bus T-shirt, please wear it.
The parade starts at 1pm, and will probably last about an hour. The route ends at Festival Plaza by City Hall, where we will have a Humanist Association of Ottawa information table. You will probably want to bring a water bottle.
Following the parade, people are welcome to gather at Evan’s house on Queen Elizabeth Driveway just south of the Queensway for refreshments, to get an early start on the BBQ happening there that day. If you are staying for the BBQ please bring an appetizer, salad, or dessert to share.
