Wood Buffalo Pride is a non-profit organization committed to raising awareness and promoting inclusion of 2SLGBTQIA+ people in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, located in Treaty 8 Territory. Wood Buffalo Pride coordinates 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming events, support programs, advocates for 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusion, and provides training and resources.
We advocate for and empower 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals and families in Wood Buffalo by fostering inclusion, providing education, and creating safe spaces that support equity, belonging, health, and well-being.
Wood Buffalo Pride is an equal opportunity employer and is strongly committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Wood Buffalo Pride encourages applications from members of groups that have been marginalized on any grounds under the Alberta Human Rights Code, including sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, racialization, disability, political belief, religion, marital or family status, age, and/or status as a First Nation, Metis, Inuit, or Indigenous person.
Volunteer to help with the annual Pride Festival! We need volunteers for the Opening Ceremony on May 31st, Pride Prom on June 13th and the Pride Fair on June 20th.
Apply to become one of our proud volunteers! We have volunteer opportunities throughout the year to get involved with Pride. Volunteers must be age 15 or older.
Wood Buffalo Pride members receive discounts on our events, are the first to hear about announcements and opportunities through our newsletter, and can make their voice heard in shaping our organization at our Annual General Meeting! Members are automatically added to our mailing list to receive our newsletter. Membership expires annually on December 31st.
To ensure we are meeting the needs of our local 2SLGBTQIA+ community, we are creating Advisory Groups. The Advisory Groups will meet approximately twice per year and will help to shape our programming with their feedback.
These groups are open to those that self-identify as 2SLGBTQIA+, as well as their family members, parents, caregivers, or direct supports. An honorarium is provided for participation.
The deadline to apply for the Wood Buffalo Pride Board of Directors has closed for the 2026 AGM. Members may still submit an application at anytime, and will be considered for an interim position if a vacancy becomes available.
If you would like to be involved please sign up to volunteer or to join an advisory group.
