Raising The Rainbow Flag On Simcoe Pride
Monday Marks the First of Many Flag Raisings For an Organization That Used to Only Have One
What started in 2012 with one municipality, has grown to include the whole area. Simcoe Pride got an official kick off at the County of Simcoe offices this morning, with Warden Gerry Marshall raising the rainbow flag on an event that lasts until August 12th.
