PEI Pride Parade Participant Survey

Pride PEI is proud to work with organizations that share our values for LGBTQ2S+ inclusivity and participation. We thank you for your support and seek to know more about the ways in which your organization promotes LGBTQ2S+ inclusivity.

This Participation Survey is Pride PEI's new means to learn about the internal and external LGBTQ2S+ efforts our parade participants and sponsors are undertaking in the community. The initiatives you undertake are important; we see this as an opportunity for our community partners to reflect upon their efforts and identify new ways they might support LGBTQ2S+ inclusivity.

We recognize that we partner with diverse organizations, and not all questions or activities will be applicable to all groups, but we ask that you complete the survey to the best of your ability. Feel free to make notes on how your policies and initiatives might differ from those described. Organizations sponsoring the festival will have their efforts highlighted in a variety of ways through our website and Pride Guide. This is a first effort at documenting the good work undertaken by our partners, and we welcome your feedback as it will ensure the survey acts as helpful resource for our sponsors, parade participants, and the community.

Thank you for participating in the 2018 PEI Pride Festival and happy Pride!
