‘Misunderstanding’ blamed for last minute cancellation of Montreal Pride parade
A new report says communication problems and a simple “misunderstanding” were at the heart of the decision to cancel this year’s Montreal’s Pride parade hours before it was scheduled to begin.
Report author Philippe Schnobb finds that the cancellation of the Aug. 7 event was announced hastily without the approval of the organization’s executive director or board of directors.Montreal Pride organizers cancel parade, citing lack of staff as disappointed mayor says city ‘had no clue’Montreal Pride organizers cancel parade, citing lack of staff as disappointed mayor says city ‘had no clue’
A timeline of the events in the report shows that unnamed staff members realized at around 7:45 a.m. that someone had forgotten to hire some 96 security staff needed for the parade later that day. A “misunderstanding” meant that some people were told the event was cancelled, which led to volunteers being dismissed and the news announced to Montreal police and the media before the executive director could arrive on site to make an official decision.
