The news everyone has been waiting for:

The 8^th annual Nanaimo Pagan Pride Day will be Saturday,  August 25th from 11AM to 6PM!

Each year the Pagan community uses Pagan Pride Day to raise funds for a charitable organisation that contributes to the greater community.  By combining our energy, and by working together, we can affect positive change in the world around us. As we pass our positive energy down the line, we make contact with people and organisations that may know nothing about Pagans, or who may have been misinformed.

This becomes an opportunity to further the goals of Pagan Pride Day; by fostering pride in Pagan identity through education, activism, charity and community.

This year, we are proud to announce that the charitable organisation we will be fundraising for is: The Canadian Diabetes Association

Diabetes is a disease that touches so many in our community, and it is an epidemic that is only getting worse.

An estimated 285 million people, worldwide, are affected by diabetes. With a further 7 million people developing diabetes each year, this number is expected to hit 438 million by 2030.

Today more than 9 million Canadians live with diabetes or prediabetes.

Approximately 80% of people with diabetes will die as a result of heart disease or stroke.

Diabetes is a contributing factor in the deaths of approximately 41,500 Canadians each year.

By working together we can make a contribution to this cause that could aid and benefit over  9 million Canadians.

Fundraising activities will be starting soon, so please keep up to date with what is going on by subscribing to updates to this site or by selecting “Like” On our Facebook page.
