Live Loudly, Love Proudly: A Celebration of Canadian Pride at Manulife Centre
Toronto’s Bloor-Yorkville Destination Bursts into Colour with Pride-Themed Art Activations and Festival Weekend Events throughout June
Where: Manulife Centre, 55 Bloor Street West, Toronto, ON (Bloor-Yorkville, corner of Bay & Bloor)
When: Pride Visual Activations June 1 – July 1 & Festival Weekend Events June 27–29
This June, celebrate Pride Month with true Canadian spirit at Manulife Centre, a vibrant destination in the heart of Toronto’s iconic Bloor-Yorkville
neighbourhood. From June 1 to July 1, the Centre will shine as a beacon of love, inclusion, and Canadian Pride. Visitors can explore bold, Pride-themed art installations and engaging moments of self-expression. The celebration culminates in a Festival Weekend lineup of activities (June 27–29) that proudly aligns with Pride Toronto festivities.
At the centre of it all is a striking visual transformation by Toronto-based artist and designer Tim Singleton. With his signature bold and expressive style, Singleton brings Canadian identity to life through immersive design elements that wrap around walls, mirrors, and photo-worthy spaces — turning the Centre into a living canvas of national and personal pride.
Pride Visual Design Activations by Tim Singleton:
This Pride Month, Manulife Centre is bursting with colour, creativity, and celebration. These design moments are more than décor — they’re invitations to reflect, celebrate, and connect.
– Mirror Moment: “This Is What Pride Looks Like” – interactive mirror decals framed with rainbow borders invite guests to see and celebrate themselves.
– “Proudly Canadian. Proud Me.” Mural – A bold mural that infuses Canadian elements with rainbow hues and a statement of identity and unity. This photogenic art piece is designed as a powerful photo backdrop.
