With tremendous pride, we are sharing news of the world premiere of Parade: Queer Acts of Love & Resistance at the 2025 Toronto Hot Docs Festival this Thursday, April 24th!

Parade 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—from police raids to early drag shows, community organizing to the House of Commons—audiences are brought to the frontlines of the struggle and the complex history of our country’s diverse communities is brought to life.

This project was an incredible collaborative effort that includes several A/CA members. See our Linktree for more information.For the film’s screening times and to purchase tickets: https://hotdocs.ca/whats-on/hot-docs-festival/films/2025/parade.
