    THE TOWN OF THE BLUE MOUNTAINS, ON – (Monday, June 2, 2025): The Blue Mountains Public Library (BMPL) and Town of The Blue Mountains have a series of exciting events lined up this Pride Season, all in the name of celebrating 2SLGBTQIA+ folks, the freedom to be yourself, and the power of community.

    Flag Raising and Proclamation

    Join us for the official Pride Flag Raising on Tuesday, June 10 at 9:00 a.m. at Town Hall, followed by a formal proclamation from Mayor Andrea Matrosovs, declaring June 10 – 17 as Pride Week in the Town of The Blue Mountains. The public is welcome to attend and show their support.

    • Beaver Valley Community School Crossing (Bruce Street South)
    • Bruce Street North and Highway 26
    • Jozo Weider Boulevard and Village Crescent

    Community Activities and Library Programming

    Throughout June, a variety of events and initiatives will take place across the Town of The Blue Mountains and at the L.E. Shore Memorial Library in Thornbury. Highlights include:

    Read with Pride

    Explore inclusive displays, educational materials, and a curated Read with Pride booklist, highlighting 2SLGBTQIA+ voices, stories, and history.

    Message of Unity

    “We are proud to partner with the Library to recognize Pride,” said Mayor Andrea Matrosovs. “This is a time to stand in solidarity with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and celebrate the strength that comes from diversity.”

    “This year, we are especially grateful to the Grey Bruce Community Foundation for funding support,” added BMPL CEO Jennifer Murley. “Together, we are creating safe, inclusive spaces for all who live, work, and visit our community.”

    About Pride Season

    Pride Season spans June to September and celebrates the resilience, talent, and contributions of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. While events take place year-round, Pride Season honours the legacy of early Canadian demonstrations for 2SLGBTQIA+ rights, dating back to 1971. Locally, Collingwood’s Pride Festival is in July, and Blue Mountain Village celebrates in February–March.
