Sunday, August 20 is the day we walk with Pride!!

KUC will “walk the walk” as an Affirming congregation with Kamloops Pride in the first downtown “Out in the Street” Pride Parade.

Worship begins at 9 a.m. at KUC, and then we move to Riverside Park to take part in the celebration.

Painted KUC Pride t-shirts, and feather boas are still available! Pick yours up at church before the parade!

Bring your own water and probably a hat.

Park strategically. To accommodate parade participants, Victoria Street will be closed to traffic, and one lane of Lansdowne will also be closed.

Prior to 10 a.m, the KUC booth will be set up in Riverside Park (thanks to  Florence and Shane).

After worship at KUC ends, we move to the park and will gather at our KUC booth.
