Together We Rise

On this day, June 12th, 2016, 49 lives were stolen

On this day, June 12th, 2016, 49 lives were stolen at PULSE nightclub in Orlando, Florida.

On this day, we remember the 49 people who were out living - dancing, loving and freely celebrating - in what was meant to be a safe space during Pride month.

It has been 9 years since that tragic day and we still carry their memory with us.

We still grieve. We still remember.

Our theme for Pride in the Highlands 2025 - Together We Rise - is a reminder to honour their legacy not just in remembrance, but in action. We continue to unite in love and in joy and in power so that everyone, no matter who they love or how they identify can live freely.

We continue to unite as we strive to make the Haliburton Highlands a place where Everyone is Welcome.

Together We Rise.

Happy Pride Month! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 June

Happy Pride Month!
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
June is Pride Month and the kick-off to Pride season in the Highlands. As we embark on another summer full of community events and social gatherings we are thrilled to share some exciting news from our Vision 2025 Town Hall held at Pinestone Resort in Haliburton.

After nearly a decade of growth and community engagement, Minden Pride in the Haliburton Highlands will officially transition to Pride in the Highlands.
“What began as a celebratory picnic in opposition to homophobia has evolved into a cultural pillar in our region,” said Chair Allan Guinan. “As we broaden our outreach, it’s become clear that our name should reflect the full diversity and complexion of the communities we serve.”

The new name, Pride in the Highlands, celebrates the four municipalities that comprise the Haliburton Highlands: Minden Hills, Algonquin Highlands, Dysart et al, and Highlands East. The change signals a renewed commitment to one of our organization’s core values: inclusivity.
While the name is changing, we are embracing a thoughtful transition. “2025 will be a year of evolution,” said Co-Chair Chris Hewson. “We’ll still have the Pride Mobile, the flags, banners, and all the infrastructure that’s been built over the years — none of that disappears overnight.”

Look forward to a new website: prideinthehighlands.ca, launching later this summer and some fun new merchandise available wherever you see the Pride Mobile.
The 2025 Pride in the Highlands Planning Committee invites residents, partners, and allies to join us in this exciting year of celebration and transformation as we honour the impactful legacy of Minden Pride: moving forward together — proud, united, and inclusive — into the future of Pride in the Highlands.
