Jasper Pride 2021 – Still Happening During Covid-19: Community Works with Restrictions to Create an Amazing Experience

For more than a year, the Covid-19 pandemic has created challenges to organizers of indoor/outdoor events around the world. Lots of events either have been cancelled completely or gone to an online format. Destination prides, like Jasper Pride where tourists and locals come together to celebrate pride are a challenge to put together with travel restrictions, social distancing, and other Covid-19 restrictions in place.  Though, Jasper Pride has always been a shining example for showing how a whole town can come together for Pride and they have figured out how to bring people together while working with Covid -19 restrictions in place keeping locals and visitors safe. We checked in with Jasper Pride organizers to see how everything is coming together for this year’s event.
