IN PHOTOS: Inuvik fills the streets with pride

Inuvik fills the streets with pride

The streets of Inuvik were filled with smiles, rainbows and self-love on May 30.

Friends from across the Beaufort Delta and beyond came together to march in support of one another. Following the march, people made their way to a barbecue supper and other festivities.
