On August 3, 2025, Vancouver hosted the 47th annual Pride Parade, drawing over 100,000 participants and spectators to the downtown core. This year’s event featured a new shortened and reversed route, beginning at Concord Pacific Place and proceeding along Pacific Boulevard, ending in the historic Davie Village. The parade was led by Host Nations and included a diverse array of floats, community organizations, and advocacy groups, all united in support of 2SLGBTQIA+ rights and visibility.
TMS again appeared as part of the TransLInk contingent, with our 1964 GM ‘New Look’ travelling the route (as #1 Beach.) Here are some photographs courtesy of Steve Goodman, showing parade ‘walkers’ Austin O’Keefe, Ewan Streit, Rian Fatemi, Matthew Walker and Angus McIntyre. Appropriately, Dave and Jacquelyn, who are featured in numerous BC Hydro commercials, visited 4612!
The full crew from TMS comprised: Anthony Sherst (driver), Aurora Rose, Martin Wu, Francis He, Stephen Goodman, Bailey Whalen, Rian Fatemi, Ewan Streit, Angus McIntyre, Milan Streit, Matthew Walker, Sue Walker, and Lawrence Walker. Our thanks to all for so proudly representing Transit Museum Society! (Photos: Lawrence Walker/Matthew Walker)
