Colourful flags are flying high to kick start Pride Week on the North Shore.
On Monday, West Vancouver, North Vancouver district and city municipalities held flag-raising ceremonies at their municipal halls to celebrate Pride Week on the North Shore and show support for the 2SLGBTQ+ community.
Council members, police, fire and other members of the community attended the flag raising celebrations.
“All three municipalities on the North Shore are supporting North Shore Pride Week by raising a flag for our community, which is fabulous," said Gary Woods, co-founder of the North Shore Pride Alliance.
The pride flags will be on display for the rest of the week.
