As Calgary’s police chief expressed disappointment at being told his officers would not be welcome to march in uniform at this year’s Pride parade, a city councillor and former police commissioner announced she would boycott the event.
In a statement released Wednesday, Calgary Pride encouraged police officers to participate but to do so without uniforms, firearms, vehicles or any form of institutional representation, such as floats, adding that completely banning law enforcement deters from meaningful discussions on how those agencies can best support the diverse community.
