Pride, 2025
Pride Month has begun, and Lanark County will have several ways for people to celebrate, connect and show support.
Events are planned throughout June, with community gatherings taking place in Smiths Falls, Perth, Carleton Place and other areas.
The celebrations resume Saturday, June 6, with Smiths Falls Pride and the Perth Pride Parade both taking place that day. Organizers say the events are a chance for residents to come together in support of inclusion, respect and the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.
A Pride Community Wellness Night is also planned for Friday, June 12, at Maplestone Ranch and Retreat.
Later in the month, the Queer Sphere Pride Picnic will take place in Carleton Place on Tuesday, June 30.
A full list of Pride Month events across Lanark County is available through Queer Connection Lanark at queerconnectionlanark.ca.
Residents are encouraged to take part and celebrate safely.
