(Vancover, Canada) Five corporate sponsors of Vancouver Pride, including long-time supporter Air Canada, have pulled their in-kind and cash contributions for this year's celebrations, leaving the Vancouver Pride Society (VPS) claiming a $55,000 shortfall just seven-and-a-half weeks before show time. And while VPS president John Boychuk says this year's 11 VPS-hosted events are covered, the drop in funding means next year's 30th anniversary celebrations "won't have much, if anything, to celebrate with." "We're changing not because we want to, we're changing because we don't have the support," says Boychuk, who notes that Pride is two months away and expenses "don't go away."
