WildPride

Wild Pride was born from a simple realization: real community only exists when the people in that community build it themselves. A community, that represents us, supports us, and gives us space to grow, cannot be handed down by corporations or institutions. It has to be made by us. In 2025, a small group of queer people in Montréal, fed up with corporate pride and the illusion of representation, decided to push back. Wild Pride is grassroots and volunteer led. It is a platform for queer people in Montréal to practice organizing, to create the events we want to see, and to gather with each other without sacrificing our values. Our goal is to help build a vision of community that nourishes us, strengthens us, and brings us together in solidarity, without relying on political or corporate handouts. Wild Pride is built on the belief that we have an obligation to support each other and the land and spaces where we live and play. Without unity and solidarity, we are vulnerable to being taken advantage of.
