Planning for Pride Powell River prepares for celebratory week of events With nine days of planning remaining for several events taking place during the first week of August, preparations for Pride Week in Powell River are now in full swing. While Pride parades, marches and festivals are scheduled throughout the summer months in communities across Canada and throughout the world, for Powell River Pride, the organization behind Pride Week, now is its time to shine. Local Pride events and celebrations run from Monday, August 1, through Sunday, August 7. “This is the first year we have a full-on committee,” says Kelly Belanger, one of Powell River Pride Week’s organizers. Prior to 2016, each Pride event was put together separately by volunteers. For the fifth annual Pride Week in Powell River, however, the entire schedule is organized by the same group. Featured events include Pride at the Art Wall from 7-9 pm Wednesday, August 3, on Arbutus Street near the Old Courthouse Inn. Everyone is invited to join a painting project with the theme of Pride as its main focus. “We are inviting all artists and anyone who wants to come out and paint on the wall as part of Pride celebrations and inclusion,” says Belanger. “Just bring lots of colours and help paint the wall.” Later that evening, a film night featuring a screening of the movie Viva takes place at Patricia Theatre. Doors open at 9:30 pm; the movie starts at 10 pm.

“It is a Cuban film; a coming-ofage story,” says Ulrich Herl, also a member of the organizing team. “It is something a little lighthearted and a little fun.” Film night admission is $10. Beverage options, including beer and wine, will be available for guests to enjoy while taking in the movie. A Time to Remember is the theme for two memorial events taking place on Thursday, August 4. Both are new additions to the Pride Week schedule for 2016. At 4 pm, remembrance ribbons will be placed on the fence along
Manson Avenue at Larry Gouthro Park. “It is for anybody you want to remember,” says Herl. “We will supply ribbons as well.” “It is our memorial day,” adds Belanger. “We’re encouraging everyone to come in memory of past LBGTQ2 members who have passed away, in memoriam for them.” A moon-bag f loat i l la at Willingdon Beach later that evening is specifically dedicated to the 49 victims killed last month at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. The moon bags, made from ce-
dar shakes, paper bags and tea lights, will be placed in the water at around 9:30 pm. “We are going to be there at high tide,” says Belanger. “We light them and send them out in memory of our fallen brethren.” On Friday, August 5, an all-ages, substance-free dance featuring a DJ is being hosted from 7-11 pm at Cranberry Community Hall, 6828 Cranberry Street. Tickets are available at the door only and entry is by donation; Powell River dollars will be accepted. A free family beach party on Saturday, August 6, spans the af-

ternoon and early evening from 12-7 pm at Willingdon Beach. While specific plans are still being finalized, entertainment features are expected to include games and music for all ages, an open mic and a variety of food vendors. “We’re hoping to have some entertainment on stage and a dunk tank,” says Herl. “We will have volleyball, too, and lots of different activities.” A lso on Aug ust 6, Mi na Mercury’s Drag Show will take to the stage at That Sugar Vault, 4871 Joyce Avenue. “I’ve seen many, many drag queens,” says Herl. “Nina is very good at engaging and playing to the crowd. If a crowd is tough, she can work her magic.” Doors open for the adultthemed night of entertainment at 7 pm. “Special guests will also be performing; Mina is the headliner,” adds Herl. Wrapping up a week of activities is Mad Hatters High Tea, which takes place at Edie Rae’s Cafe in Townsite at 4 pm Sunday, August 7; doors open at 3:30 pm. Only 30 tickets are available for this function; admission is $30. “It’s going to be quite a filling high tea,” says Belanger. Tickets for the film night and high tea are available at Edie Rae’s, Powell River Peak and Earth Inspirations Pottery’s booth at Powell River Farmers’ Market. Kaleidoscope Collective has tickets for movie night as well. For more information about Pride Week events, go to facebook.com/prpride.

Local organization promotes Pride Week celebrations
Prior to a variety of events scheduled to celebrate P r ide Week, organizers involved with Powell R iver Pr ide pla n to kickoff celebrations early by taking part in the 2016 Sea Fair Parade on the morning of Saturday, July 23. “We are promoting Pride and Pride Week during the parade,” says organizer Ulrich Herl. In addition to entering a float in the parade, Pride members will also march together as a group. Community members interested in joining the march to show support are invited to show up on parade day at 9 am, one hour before the official 10 am start time. Family and friends of Pride members are invited to take part as well, as is anyone who identifies as LGBTQ2. “We are having as many people as will walk with us: allies and gay, lesbian,
transgendered and bisexual people from the community,” says Herl. “Anyone who wants to walk with us, feel free,” adds organizer Kelly Belanger. “Just show up before the parade and we will have a spot for you.” Belanger has volunteered his truck to act as the base for Powell River Pride’s float entry in the parade. Decorating the vehicle is planned for the early morning hours on parade day, but details regarding the actual design are still being worked out. “We’ll have some decorations, rainbow flags and other beautiful rainbow bits,” says Herl. One of the reasons for waiting to create the float is the lack of a suitable location to park the decked-out vehicle before the event. Another is the weather, which is unpredictable. “We won’t know what it will look like until Saturday morning before the parade,” says Belanger. “We’re brainstorming; we’ll see what we come up with.” Sea Fair Parade begins on Joyce Avenue at Barnet Street, then follows a route down Alberni Street and along Marine Avenue before coming to a stop at Duncan Street. For more information about the parade, go to powellriverseafair.ca. Pride Week in Powell River takes place from Monday, August 1, through Sunday, August 7.

Powell River Logger Sports 2016
Logs were cut, axes were thrown, poles were climbed and champions were made. When all was said and done, thousands of smiling faces could be found at Willingdon Beach from Friday, July 15, to Sunday, July 17, during the long-awaited return of Powell River Logger Sports. The family-friendly event, including a beach-wide vendor area, drew huge crowds from near and far during its three days, marking a triumphant return after an 11-year absence.
