The Prince Rupert Public Library is inviting residents to a free screening of the 2014 film Pride on Saturday, June 27, 2026, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The event, held in the library’s multipurpose room, is open to all ages and does not require registration, offering a no-cost way for the community to celebrate Pride month.
The film, directed by Matthew Warchus, tells the true story of a group of gay and lesbian activists in London who raised money to support families affected by the British miners’ strike in 1984. It won the Queer Palm award at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival and carries a PG rating in British Columbia for some language.
“Celebrate Pride month at the library! We’re having a free screening of the 2014 film Pride,” the library stated in its announcement.
Alongside the screening, the Prince Rupert Public Library is highlighting its newly available National Film Board streaming access. Library cardholders can now watch on-demand Canadian documentaries, animated films, and an Indigenous cinema collection featuring over 500 Indigenous-made films. The NFB has more than 7,000 titles available for free streaming.
Since 1922, the Prince Rupert Library has served the city and surrounding areas, including Port Edward, Digby Island, Metlakatla, Lax Kw’alaams, Oona River, Kitkatla, and Hartley Bay. Free library cards are available to residents of these communities.
The film screening follows Prince Rupert Indigiqueer Pride, a separate event held on June 13 and 14 this year.
