ALT Important Update: September 15th, 2022 The New West Pride Society has grown considerably over the last 10+ years due to the hours and hours of hard work and dedication of past and present board members, volunteers, community partners and sponsors. This year’s Street Festival had an estimated 25,000 people attending and our Queer Family and Transgender Swim had close to 80 people attend. While there is much pride for what the society has accomplished, the society experiences significant challenges around maintaining Executive and Board members due to burnout. The Society operates without any paid staff and is run entirely by a volunteer board of 8-14 people. It has become especially clear this year, that the current volunteer model is no longer sustainable. For the New West Pride Society to move forward, it will need to be re-imagined by securing reliable sources of funding to hire permanent staff and/or will need to considerably scale back Pride Week and the New West Street Festival
