Police officers will not be banned from attending Pride Week celebrations this year, the festival’s organizing committee said in a statement, which “aims to clarify” the conditions around police participation.

“LGBTQ+ police officers and their allies can march in the Parade with community groups, with the City of Toronto, or even create their own group,” Pride Toronto said in a statement issued Sunday night.

Pride Toronto said it is requesting that officers “not include” uniforms, weapons or vehicles in their parade participation.

However, police will be present to “provide all the necessary services to ensure that the festival weekend and parade are secure and successful,” the statement reads.

According to the statement, Pride Toronto executive director Olivia Nuamah is expected to speak at the city’s Economic Development Committee meeting Monday “in support of continued city funding for Pride.”

Don Peat, spokesperson for Mayor John Tory, said late Sunday that Tory will talk about the compromise Monday morning after he tours a Toronto Community Housing complex with NDP Leader Andrea Horwath.

Tory has in recent weeks resisted calls from the police union and some councillors to threaten to cancel an annual city grant to Pride unless police are welcomed back.

Tory had said Police Chief Mark Saunders and Nuamah assured him fruitful talks were continuing, adding he did not want to make any statements that would derail their progress.

Councillor John Campbell counts himself among about half a dozen councillors who believe the organization’s annual grant request should be voted down.

Toronto police officers have denounced the planned grant of $260,000 offered to Pride, calling it “unacceptable” for the government to financially back an event that excludes police.
