MILESTONES IN THE HISTORY OF PRIDE ACROSS CANADAġ969: On Canada decriminalized homosexual acts between consenting adults with the passage of the Criminal Law Amendment Act first introduced in December 1968. Our history is expansive and this is not, by any means, a comprehensive list. It was not the only turning point in our history, so we present to you a brief timeline of notable events in the history of Pride in Canada. The most well known of these are the Toronto raids which lead to riots that turned into what is today, a vibrant pride festival.

When asked about the history of pride, often the first thing that comes to people’s minds are the Stonewall Riots.
