A request for a Pride Walk in Prince George will have to wait another year.
At last night’s city council meeting, a letter of request was sent to council asking the city to install the attraction that honours the LGBTQ community.
Councillor Jillian Merrick says a Pride Walk is where one or a few crosswalks in the city are painted rainbow colours.
“I think we first saw them perhaps in Vancouver,” says Merrick, “but since then a lot of smaller communities have taken up the charge usually in conjunction with a iconic civic location or city hall and we’ve seen rainbow coloured crosswalks pop up in cities all over Canada.”
Merrick says with Pride Week in PG only two weeks away, it isn’t enough time to put one in this year.
She says it will definitely be discussed for next July.
