Island Pacific School held their 2nd annual Pride event on May 31 to celebrate Pride Month (June) and the LGBTQ2S+ community.
All the elements of the inaugural event were back, starting with the march from IPS to the Bowfest Field, where games, music, food, and other fun awaited. This year Island Discovery Learning Community joined in the celebration, and five schools from the mainland made the trip over: Mulgrave and Collingwood from West Vancouver, York House and West Point Grey Academy from Vancouver, and Southpointe Academy from Tsawwassen.
On June 3 the Bowen Island Public Library, who were also guests at the IPS event, held a Mini Pride Parade where participants crafted floats and paraded them around the Library. The General Store and Ruddy Potato were sponsors of the event.
