The weekend parades celebrating Toronto's Pride Week starts with Saturday's Dyke March. It was cool seeing the massive Pride Flag carried by many volunteers as they collected Toonies in the flag.
The police shut down the parade route and the march began at Church and Hayden Streets and headed along Bloor and Yonge Street. The weather was perfect for the event - which is described as a political demonstration, and there were plenty of fantastic costumes and friendly demonstrators.
The dykes on bikes started the march as their motorcycles roared to life and they ran north on Church and turned west onto Bloor Street.
Besides the motorcycles there were bicycles and at least one human powered carriage.
Here's to all the participants.
