RELATED: Black Lives Matter protest scores victory after putting Pride parade on pause Black Lives Matter, an honoured guest at this year’s parade, stopped floats and marchers at Yonge and College Sts. Black Lives Matter Toronto staged a protest that stalled Toronto's annual Pride Parade on Sunday. “A lot of people volunteer to work the parade because it’s a fantastic parade,” Saunders said. “It’s not a one-day-a-year thing.” He added that officers enjoy participating in the Pride parade. “What’s important for people to know is that I’m not deciding what’s in the parade, Alica [Hall, co-chair of Pride’s board of directors] doesn’t decide what’s in the parade, Black Lives Matter doesn’t… decide what’s in the parade,” Chantelois said.
