I thought that it was an attempt by the police not to show favoritism to one group, and many officers were disappointed that they couldn't attend in uniform. I might be blowing hot air though.

Officers marching in Calgary’s annual Pride Parade are being asked to leave their uniforms at home—a decision the Calgary Police Service says it respects.

“We are obviously disappointed with the decision that police will not be allowed to march in uniform, but we are not going to allow it to undo decades of progress between law enforcement and the LGBTQ community in Calgary,” Chief Roger Chaffin said in a statement Wednesday afternoon.
