The big Pride Parade down Yonge Street, billed as the world’s largest, is set to begin at 2 p.m. Sunday at Bloor and Church streets, with about 270 groups marching and a big finish at Nathan Phillips Square including music and performances.

On Friday evening, the annual Trans Rally and March drew thousands to Toronto’s downtown Gay Village where light blue-pink-andwhite and rainbow flags filled the streets. Mayor Olivia Chow, provincial NDP Leader Marit Stiles and MPP Kristyn Wong-Tam were among the crowd.
