A series of mistakes and trigger reactions led to Montreal's 2022 Pride parade's cancellation.
When Montreal's 2022 Pride parade was cancelled Aug. 7, hundreds took to the streets of downtown Montreal to march instead.
According to a report into what went wrong that day, a series of mistakes and trigger reactions led to the parade's cancellation. Montreal Pride manages a $6-million annual budget, 85 per cent of which is funded by government agencies and private entities. Its largest cost is the festival, but the parade is considered one of the top 10 most important events of the year in Montreal and generates about $10 million in economic spinoffs.Though Montreal Pride had a plan for emergencies, Schnobb said it was not well-known by staff and there was no specific plan for emergencies related to the parade itself.
"Everyone acted in good faith. It's just that at one point, there should have been a double-check," he said.But if a crisis team had mobilized to problem-solve, "the decision could have been different — or not — but [at least] they would have had time to make a decision," Schnobb said.
