Pride theme: "The Courage to Be…" The 2011 Ottawa Capital Pride Festival, themed "The Courage to Be...," invites you to join the lively celebration spanning from August 19 to 28. With a vibrant history spanning 26 years, this festival continues to be a steadfast promoter of pride, fostering understanding and acknowledgment of the LGBTQ community's positive impact on the National Capital Region.
