Montreal Mayor Valerie Plante participated in the parade, riding on a float with popular drag queen Barbada. Also in attendance were several provincial cabinet ministers, including Deputy Premier Genevieve Guilbault, as well as federal ministers Pascale St-Onge et Steven Guilbeault. Last year’s parade was cancelled hours before it was scheduled to begin, and a report later blamed miscommunication among Pride Montreal employees for the unexpected move.
