The theme of 2020 St. John's Pride events is 'a celebration from isolation.' St. John's Deputy Mayor Sheilagh O'Leary and MP Seamus O'Regan carried the Pride banner down Water Street. (Heather Gillis/CBC)It wasn't the loud, lively and colourful Pride parade of years gone by, but this year, St. John's Pride marked the culmination of 10 days of events with a small, mostly virtual event. Federal cabinet Minister Seamus O'Regan and St John's Deputy Mayor Sheilagh O'Leary joined the St. John's Pride board, carried a banner and wore pride flag masks, with the walk streamed live on Facebook. Greg Noseworthy says St. John's Pride is planning to hold more virtual or physically distant Pride events throughout the year.
