Funding from TD Bank, through it’s community program, is contingent on Pride Toronto receiving the grant from Trillium, a provincial agency, said executive director Olivia Nuamah. If successful, Pride Toronto will form a community-led working group tasked with developing local initiatives and making recommendations to Toronto Police Service to address “heteronormative biases,” the application said. Pride Toronto filed its application before alleged serial killer Bruce McArthur was arrested Jan. 18, Nuamah said. If Trillium approves the project, Pride Toronto can apply again in a few years for up to $500,000 per year for up to five years. The last time Pride Toronto received Trillium funding was for World Pride 2014.
