Welcome

Surrey Pride Society was formerly known as the OIS Rainbow Cultural Society. Following an AGM decision the new name was registered in January 2012.

Our Society was founded August 11th, 2000 out of the Social Group, Out in Surrey. The non-profit Society raises funds for various charities throughout the Fraser Valley with particular emphasis on L.G.B.T.Q. charities in Surrey and the local area.

As of November 2007, the Society has refocused its efforts to provide Socials, Youth Scholarships and Pride events to accommodate a growing community, while still supporting the Imperial Court of Surrey (E.P.A.M.A.) and the Surrey Youth Alliance (S.Y.A.). in 2011 we introduced a monthly social event called CHiLL.

Our goals over the next few years will be to expand and include more members of the L.G.B.T.Q. based on equality and inclusion for all. It will also be a mandate of this organization to create the opportunity to secure year round fundraisers to put on Pride each July.
