Project: Pride Toronto Festival
Producers: Pride Toronto
Event Concept: Pride Toronto is a not-for-profit organization with a mission to bring people together to celebrate the history, courage and diversity of the LGBTQ community. I assisted in the media accreditation process, contacting media and ensuring they had access to certain media pens that would be located throughout the festival. I also was the media representative for the International Grand Marshalls and ushered them to various media outlets such as CP24, CTV, eTalk, CBC and more to facilitate interviews surrounding their involvement in the festival.
