The Pride Centre is in the final stages of negotiation for a new space in the Grant Macewan University area, but is awaiting appropriate permits from the City.

In anticipation of the new space, the Pride Centre launched a one-month fundraising campaign to cover renovation costs for the new space. The new space will more than meet our needs, but it does require some renovations in order to make it move-in ready. These renovations include making the space accessible and the creation of a dedicated space for our Youth Programming.

After seeking quotations for the cost of this first phase of upgrades, the Pride Centre has set an external fundraising goal of $20,000 – a substantial sum for a non-profit organization that depends on much appreciated but conditional grants as well as small private donations.

The Centre has established a one-month timeline for the fundraising goal; support is needed by December’15th, 2011.

Donating to the Centre is easier than ever, as the Pride Centre recently attained charitable stays and is now able to issue receipts for charitable donations. Donations can be made online by Clicking Here or by contacting the Centre at 780-488-3234

Please be advised that the Pride Centre is currently closed as a result of a fire in early August. It is important to know that the fire occurred after Centre hours and no one was injured. The fire has caused minimal damage to the structure or interior of the building. However, our electrical panel has been damaged and electricity has yet to be restored.

Centre staff, board, and volunteers appreciate your patience throughout this unfortunate, temporary closure. The Centre is making every effort to ensure that we will re-open as soon as possible. We are continuing to answer all calls and emails to the best of our ability and are making efforts to respond to all inquiries within a 24 hour period.

Also be advised, that the Centre has arranged for temporary meeting and group space for Centre users at HIV Edmonton. As always, this space is offered free of charge, but donations are welcomed! Please be aware that the booking times are evening and weekend based. Although space is limited, the Centre will work diligently to ensure your group needs are met. If you are looking to book space, please DO NOT contact HIV Edmonton. All bookings must be pre-arranged through the Pride Centre. If you or your group would like to utilise this space please contact Andrea Parker, Treasurer of the Board at andrea@pridecentreofedmonton.org.

If you have any questions, or concerns please feel free to contact Ashley Matchem, Executive Director, at 780-488-3234 or by email at Ashley@pridecentreofedmonton.org.

Any inquiries regarding youth programming or volunteer opportunities should be directed to Dawn Buchynski at dawn@pridecentreofedmonton.org.

We thank you for your patience and Support!
