The group had a series of demands for Pride organizers, including more funding for events for people of colour, the hiring of more trans people and racial and ethnic minorities, and for the exclusion of police floats and a reduction in numbers of police in uniform. Chip in to keep stories like these coming. Pride executive director Mathieu Chantelois agreed to all of the BLM demands, signing a document to that effect.

The parade proceeded and it appeared the intervention was over.
