The decision comes after a joint statement Monday evening by Pride Toronto and several community organizations, calling on police to withdraw their request to participate. The goal is to restore confidence in police in what, he admitted, are “challenging times.”Toronto police will withdraw an application they submitted for officers to march in this year’s Pride parade. Emails obtained by the Star , through freedom of information requests, show that, at one point, Pride Toronto and the police force had reached an agreement about officers being able to march, uniformed, in this year’s parade. “I think that Pride needs to work with the police. And the police need to, I think, step up and work with Pride to resolve that relationship,” she said.
