The City of Richmond raised the Progressive Pride flag at city hall on Monday, and plans to have it up all week for Pride Week.
This followed an appeal from the community this past winter to change the flag policy to allow different flags, for example, the Pride flag and the Every Child Matters flag to be flown at city hall.
The Pride flag is hoisted on a flagpole next to the Ukrainian flag, which has been there since the beginning of Russia's invasion of that country.
The first Pride Walk ever in Richmond was held on Saturday, July 29 in Steveston, organized by Richmond-Steveston MLA Kelly Greene. It was attended by several municipal politicians as well as B.C. Premier David Eby.
The city has various events during Pride Week. To see a list, click here.
