CFA at 2027 Midsumma Pride March

Celebrating pride, visibility and inclusion, two CFA members join the vibrant community spirit of Pride March.

 

CFA is proud to recognise Midsumma Pride March, a significant Victorian community event that celebrates the diversity, contribution and lived experiences of LGBTQIA+ people.

 

Participation in Pride March aligns with CFA’s commitment to respect, inclusion and belonging, and supports our responsibility as a public sector organisation to foster safe, inclusive and welcoming environments for our people and the communities we serve. It is one of the ways CFA demonstrates that discrimination, exclusion and harassment have no place in CFA.

Who can participate?

Participation is open to all CFA volunteers and employees, their families, friends and supporters who are interested in taking part and supporting CFA’s commitment to inclusion and respect.
