Here’s a gallery of great pictures of NextGen at Pride in 2011.

Saturday, June 11th was NextGen’s debut in the Edmonton Pride Parade! We were excited to be one of 60 entries – up from 35 last year – in the parade downtown along 102 Avenue and to participate in the celebrations on Churchill Square with 20,000 people.

Thank you to all those who joined in on the fun and helped us show our support.

NextGen plans to be a part of it again next year in an even bigger way, so watch for information in Spring 2012.
