If the open-minded city that rocks a rainbow of heritage buildings, flowers on every corner and big blue ocean wasn’t colourful enough for you — the City of Victoria just got even more brighter — and diverse.

City of Victoria launched three rainbow crosswalks downtown this week, just in time for Victoria Pride Week, kicking off Saturday, June 27th. The City of Victoria will also raise the Pride flag on Monday, June 29th at City Hall.

Victoria Pride Week events include the Big Gay Dog Walk, a comedy show, the Pride Parade and many more!

So Victoria is now — in addition to being the city of gardens — the city where the streets light up with rainbows in honour of diversity in our community and around the world. Welcome to Victoria’s new “pride-walks”.
