Massive crowds are filling the streets of downtown Toronto today for Canada’s largest Pride parade.

The annual event, which caps off weeks of festivities celebrating the city’s LGBTQ community, has attracted thousands of marchers and 250 participating groups.

Some prominent politicians are also on hand, including federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and a handful of candidates hoping to be elected as the city’s mayor on Monday.

But the event is unfolding amid heightened security prompted by a rise in threats targeting Pride festivals across the country and a surge in hateful incidents targeting the LGBTQ community.
