Summary
West Island Pride’s third year in Pointe-Claire is bittersweet—organizers are struggling to secure corporate sponsors, forcing them to dig deeper and operate on tighter budgets, yet they’re still bringing free, family-friendly celebration to the community. With heartfelt stories from longtime attendees like 84-year-old Theo Wouters, who’s been part of every Pride since its 2024 launch and helped shape LGBTQ2+ rights in Quebec, the event proves resilience matters. For parents and newcomers alike, it’s a beacon of belonging—showing that queer joy, visibility, and acceptance are alive and thriving right here at home.
