Calgary Pride welcomes political parties to apply for 2026 parade participation

The University of Calgary may be barred from participating in the city’s Pride parade this year, but political parties are being welcomed to apply for the first time since 2023.

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has expressed confidence that it can comply with the Supreme Court's directive requiring political parties to replace the delegate system with a more inclusive process that allows all eligible members to participate in the selection of parliamentary and presidential candidates.
