Thank you for taking the time to check out our updated Sponsorship & Partnership information for Thunder Pride’s 2026 initiatives.

Community support like yours is what makes it possible for us to keep showing up for 2SLGBTQIA+ folks in Thunder Bay and the region not just during Pride season, but all year long.

On this page, you’ll see the different ways sponsors and partners help us build safe, fun, and affirming spaces through:

• Pride Month programming

• Year-round community events and connection opportunities

• Advocacy, visibility, and education work that supports our community and our allies

Pride Month takes place throughout June, along with our Pride Parade & Pride Festival. Pride has grown massively over the last 15 years we have been here and it continues to be one of the most attended events in Thunder Bay.

Partners may choose to support initiatives such as:

• Pride Festival

• Pride Parade

• Trans Day of Remembrance Vigil

• Community events (coffee dates/nights, painting nights, film nights, and other gatherings)

• Holiday/Christmas community dinner

• Thank-you dinners and community appreciation events

• Annual General Meeting (AGM) support

• Educational posts and awareness campaigns

• Membership program benefits and community partner perks

For event-based partnerships, brand visibility can include placement on posters and print materials, co-branded promotional graphics, and on-site recognition where applicable.
