Vancouver Pride Parade Grand Marshalls
Every year, Vancouver Pride honours individuals who represent the heart, history, and future of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Grand Marshals recognize the people whose dedication, courage, and leadership help move our community forward, from local acts of care and connection to global advocacy for equality and human rights. This year the parade will be led by Grand Marshal Sister Diversity Rains (she/her), Dan Wurzer (he/him), and International Grand Marshal Zhanar Sekerbayeva (she/her).
