Whistler Pride’s 8th Annual Pride Parade

Whistler annual Pride parade began in 2010 when the festival hosted the first ever Pride House at the Vancouver/Whistler Olympic Winter Games. Pride House was created to provide a safe and inclusive space for fans, athletes and family to come together and enjoy the games while raising awareness of homophobia and transphobia in Sports and in society in general. This year we were honoured to have the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre’s ambassadors lead the parade and provide an official welcome to the shared territories.  We also had one set of “I Do’s” making this year’s parade extra special.

Whistler Pride is very grateful to the generous support of Tourism Whistler and the festival’s official airline partner – Delta Air Lines for helping to bring some wonderful Instagrammers and social media influencers to this year’s Gay Ski Week.

Hot water…

One of our favourite events this year was the Sip N Dip at the Scandinave Spa. It looks like the Nomadic Boys enjoyed it too!

Laughs…

Wednesday we welcomed back the incredibly talented and funny Margaret Cho for the Night of Comedy. Margaret was named one of the top 50 stand up comics of all time by Rolling Stone Magazine. This five time Emmy and Grammy nominated artist was sensational. Looks like a Couple of Men enjoyed her too!

Backcountry…

The Nomadic Boys Stef & Seb explored Whistler’s backcountry with The Eastsiders Kit & John with The Adventure Group out in the Callaghan Valley at Cougar Mountain.

Après…

Après Ski in Whistler is always one of our favourite things to do. Daniel, Kit and John all take a bit of a time out to enjoy the outdoor après experience at the Four Seasons Whistler

Pride…

Friday was the 8th annual Whistler Pride Parade. The parade started in 2010 when the festival hosted the very first Olympic Pride House. A pavilion that dared to speak openly and honestly about homophobia and transphobia in sports. It was a place fans, athletes and families could come together to celebrate the Olympic spirit in a safe and inclusive space. Pride House has gone on to be a world wide movement with a Pride House in PyeongChang at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games hosted by Canada House.

A room with a view…

John takes in some of the stunning views many of our Whistler Pride partner hotels have. The snow in the trees this year at the Delta Whistler Village Suites by Marriott was especially impressive.
