Join DAISSI (Diverse and Inclusive Salt Spring Island) for a free community screening of Parade: Queer Acts of Love and Resistance (Noam Gonick, 2025, 98 mins) as part of Salt Spring Pride, on Jule 16th, 2026.

Parade: Queer Acts of Love & Resistance captures pivotal moments that sparked Canada’s 2SLGBTQI+ movement, honouring the activists and elders whose resistance led to the rights we have today.

Through rarely seen archival footage and first-person accounts, audiences are brought to the frontlines of the struggle. From police raids to early drag shows, community organizing to the House of Commons—the complex history of the country’s diverse communities is brought to life. Key milestones illustrate the power of taking it into the streets and underscore how easily the rights we’ve fought for can be revoked, making the documentary essential viewing for all Canadians.
