In Mississauga, June not only signifies the start of summer but also the beginning of Pride Month. The City of Mississauga joins the rest of Canada to acknowledge and celebrate our 2SLGBTQIA+ community, while amplifying their voices and stories, as we come together to learn about the progress made towards equal treatment and human rights.

The City is offering a variety of Pride activities and initiatives all month long. Residents are encouraged to join in celebrating Pride’s history and fostering an open, inclusive and equitable environment in Mississauga.

Pride Month activities include:

• All are welcome at the Progress Pride flag raising ceremony hosted by City partner, Rainbow Sauga Alliance, starting at 12 p.m. on June 1 at Mississauga City Hall. Pride flags will be flying at all City-owned and operated facilities with more than one flagpole throughout the month of June.
• The City Hall clock tower will be lit in multiple colours on all evenings in June where other causes aren’t scheduled to be recognized.
• Mississauga Library is presenting a series of programs that celebrate 2SLGBTQIA+ stories, creativity and community. These events are free and open to everyone, designed to foster connection, learning and joy.
• Movie screenings taking place at the Hazel McCallion Central Library throughout June.
• Additional activities including a Pride swim that will take place on June 27.

Other activities taking place in the community:

• Pride Toronto hosts an annual multi-day festival, featuring one of the largest Pride parade events in North America. The City of Mississauga will take part, along with our partner, Rainbow Sauga Alliance. The parade is taking place on Sunday, June 28 at 2 p.m.
• The Peel 2SLGBTQ+ Collaborative is organizing Peel Pride 2026 taking place on Saturday, July 11 from 12 to 4 p.m. at Community Common Park in Mississauga. Registration is not required to participate in this free event.
