A public event was held for the raising of the Rainbow Flag in Arnprior for the first time in two years to celebrate the proclamation by Town Council of PRIDE Week in the community.
The 10AM ceremony at Town Hall Monday morning saw Mayor Walter Stack hoisting the banner to a full contingent of councillors, members of Arnprior Pride, allies and friends.
Arnprior Pride’s Sophie Smith-Dore spoke of the positive changes that have happened since the first ceremony in 2019, and the work that remains to validate the Trans community both in Arnprior and elsewhere.
