While visiting her hometown of Ste-Anne, Manitoba, q producer Diane Eros travelled to the nearby city of Steinbach as it held its first ever Pride Parade on Saturday.

"Before I even got into town, it was obvious something really big was happening in Steinbach," says Eros, who says the normally traffic-light city was jammed.

She takes us to the scene with a series of short interviews.
