Gathering of LGBTQ2S+ celebrates with parade, sober party
On a cloudy day with small pockets of sunshine, Kuujjuaq’s LGBTQ2S+ community and friends came out to celebrate the fifth annual Kuujjuaq Pride parade on Saturday.
Summer’s here in Kuujjuaq, so that means it’s time to hit the beach. People took advantage of Thursday’s 18 C temperatures to head for the water. The weekend forecast in Kuujjuaq calls for a high of 22 C on Friday and 25 C on Saturday before dropping back to mid-teen temperatures on Sunday and the start of next week.
