Guelph’s Winter Pride runs Feb. 2 to 10. The nine-day celebration is a collaboration between LGBTQQIP2SAA community organizations as well as U of G organizations and clubs. Winter Pride aims to create space where Guelph’s many communities can come together and celebrate creativity, resiliency and the many kinds of love.

The week is packed full of events, many of which are accessible, “dry” and entirely free.
