More than 10,000 people walked through downtown Winnipeg on Sunday as the annual Pride Parade marched on amid Manitoba's ongoing state of emergency. 

Thousands more cheered and waved flags in support of the 2SLGBTQ+ community as they lined up along the smoky parade route from the Manitoba Legislature to The Forks.

Pride Winnipeg president Barry Karlenzig said the number of participants and attendees is among the largest he's seen during his 15 years with the organization.
