Blog Post: From Cindy Gilroy \u2013 Celebrating Pride, City-Wide<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Published May 30, 2025<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This June, as we kick off Pride Season in Winnipeg, we do so with colour, heart, and a bold reminder that this city stands with love, equity, and visibility for everyone. You\u2019ll be seeing that commitment roll right past you\u2014literally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m thrilled to share that Winnipeg Transit is debuting a brand-new Ride with Pride<\/em> bus, wrapped in progressive Pride colours and adorned with artwork that reflects the spirit and strength of our 2SLGBTQQIA+ communities. This vibrant and inclusive design is more than just a bus wrap\u2014it\u2019s a moving message of celebration, belonging, and progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Created by Transit\u2019s own design team in collaboration with the Pride City of Winnipeg Professional Equity Network, this bus will first hit the streets at this Sunday\u2019s Pride Parade under this year\u2019s theme: “Rise in Pride, Stand in Strength.”<\/strong> After the parade, it\u2019ll stay in service on regular routes until next May\u2014reminding us every day that inclusion shouldn\u2019t be seasonal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It features playful and diverse characters, an uplifting design with a curve that mimics a smile, and a silhouette of our skyline\u2014symbolizing that this city, our home, is part of a larger movement toward equality. It\u2019s joyful, intentional, and Winnipeg-proud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re not just showing up with paint and parades. We\u2019re also doing the ongoing work. The City is committed to fostering an inclusive and welcoming workplace for all employees. Through our Pride Equity Network and training like the Pronouns and Gender Inclusive Language<\/em> course, we\u2019re equipping staff with the knowledge and awareness needed to make everyone feel seen and respected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of our dedicated employees will be walking alongside the Ride with Pride<\/em> bus at the parade\u2014please wave, cheer, and celebrate with them! And if you\u2019re looking to deepen your understanding, I encourage you to check out the Winnipeg Public Library\u2019s 2SLGBTQQIA+ Info Guide, which offers inclusive resources and reading for all ages and stages of the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to thank Winnipeg Transit, the City\u2019s Equity Office, and our partner PATTISON Outdoor for making this beautiful initiative possible. But most of all, thank you to the community members\u2014our neighbours, colleagues, friends, and families\u2014who continue to rise in pride and stand in strength. This bus is for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy Pride, Winnipeg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
