Pride House Toronto 2026 was powered entirely by people who believed this mattered.
To our all-volunteer Steering Committee: Thank you for giving your evenings, weekends, vacation days and countless hours over the past two years to bring this vision to life. To our floor managers and volunteers, thank you for creating the welcoming atmosphere that so many guests experienced throughout the tournament. You made every person who walked through our doors feel seen, welcomed and valued.
To our sponsors and partners: Thank you to our Legendary Sponsor TD Bank Group, our Venue Partner George Brown Polytechnic, our sponsors MLSE, OLG, OPG and IGM, and our partners Canada Soccer, Toronto FC and You Can Play for believing in PHTO26 and helping make it possible.
To our community: Thank you to the many organizations, performers, speakers, photographers, vendors and community partners who filled our House with energy, conversation and joy. We're also grateful to the FIFA World Cup 2026 Toronto Secretariat for selecting Pride House Toronto 2026 as a Legacy Program, and to Pride House International for entrusting Toronto with carrying this important tradition forward.
And finally, to you. Whether you joined us once or became a familiar face throughout the tournament, thank you. You weren't simply our guests. You were the reason PHTO26 existed.
As our Chair, Annie Hart, reflected after we closed our doors: "Together, we helped make things just a little bit better, with hope in a way that will stay in people's hearts for a long time."
Thank you for making Pride House a home.
