The streets of Prince Albert were filled with the colors of the rainbow.

Pride Week in the city kicked off Saturday with a Pride Parade that wound its way through the East Hill neighbourhood and ended in Kinsmen Park.

There were a variety of guest speakers including the city’s chief of police Jon Bergen and Nicole Rancourt, the MLA for Prince Albert Northcote.

Last week Mayor Greg Dionne proclaimed May 31 to June 7 as Pride Week in the city.
