Calgary U Excluded From Pride Parade | Calgary News

The University of Calgary is barred from marching in this year’s Calgary Pride Parade after organizers cited its handling of protesters in 2024 — though the university’s sports policy, tied to a provincial law, was not the issue. While the school can’t march as an institution, individual students, faculty, and alumni may participate without using the university’s name or logo. The university plans its own Pride Week events, but student leaders argue that dismantling equity offices and cutting LGBTQ2S+ support roles undermines true inclusivity. Meanwhile, Mount Royal University will march — continuing its tradition since 2012 — as Calgary Pride continues to exclude political parties and police.
