Statement by Premier Lantz on PEI Pride Festival 2025

Hon. Rob Lantz, Premier of Prince Edward Island, issued the following statement on PEI Pride Festival 2025:

“The PEI Pride Festival, organized by Pride PEI, begins today and gives all of us the chance to celebrate the Island’s 2SLGBTQIA+ community. It is a powerful celebration of the progress we've made towards equality and a reminder of the importance of our ongoing work to create a province where everyone can thrive, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

During the Festival, I encourage all Islanders to participate in various activities and events throughout the province, which will celebrate the richness and diversity of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.”
