All of Us or None is the theme of Peterborough-Nogojiwanong Pride 2025. This powerful
phrase speaks to the interconnectedness of our struggles and our liberation. It reminds
us that true progress doesn’t happen unless it includes everyone — especially those
most often pushed to the margins. When any part of our community is under attack,
we are all called to respond. None of us are free until all of us are free. We invite you to
reflect on what “All of Us or None” means to you — and to express it in your signs, your
celebrations, your protests, and your presence. Let’s make this year’s Pride a living
example of the solidarity we need — and deserve.. For more details on the Theme go to

When we walk or march in the Pride Parade we carry with us the memory of those that
have marched and fought over the last 50 and more years to win the rights and respect
we now share. While we celebrate inclusiveness and diversity here, we need to continue
to push for rights and respect around the world. Everyone should be able to live and
love as they wish with dignity and without fear. Freedom from discrimination of any sort
should be a basic human right all can enjoy.
As a rights-centred organization, Peterborough-Nogojiwanong Pride has adopted an
Ethical Sponsorship Policy which outlines the ethical framework that we now use when
evaluating and accepting sponsorships. The policy is available on our website and at this

Pride Week is an opportunity for us to connect and build community. It has been a
rallying point for education, response on issues of interest and importance, and it has
helped change perceptions. It is an important part of the effort to create a community
with room for us to fully, safely, and happily participate in Peterborough life.
We invite everyone to participate in Pride Week in September and take actions that make
positive changes in the community all year long!
