So this is not an escalation, it’s YEG mirroring other Pride decisions, including the one this thread was started on. Saying “now being out of uniform isn’t good enough” is a disingenuous bump of this thread. Being out of uniform alone wasn’t good enough in Calgary last year either.
As always, all members of these organisations are welcome to march as citizens.

Ah, I get the difference/my confusion now. Edmonton was actually being more progressive than Calgary, Toronto and Vancouver, by allowing institutional representation (aside from a float) as long as the people running that didn't wear uniforms, and is now taking a step backwards.
Thanks for the clarity.
