The main event of York Pride Fest 2009, on Sunday 14th June, was a pride picnic and barbecue held at the Community Safety Village within Bruce's Mill Conservation Area near Stouffville.
Formalities included welcoming greetings from Bill Fisch, York Region Chairman and CEO, Dave Barrow, Mayor of Richmond Hill and Chief Armand La Barge of York Regional Police. Our guest speaker for the event was award-winning Canadian author Brian Francis. In addition to their speeches, the video also features the opening flag-raising ceremony, scenes from the Community Fair presented during the event, as well as some of the musical entertainment provided by the band "Runs With Scissors".
