Mayor Brian Bowman wants city to be more LGBT friendly
Mayor plans to ask for review of city policies and services, especially as they concern gender-identity data
Bowman said the city needs to know when it'sappropriate to ask about gender identity.
"Where do we actually need information versus times when we really don't? That's the review I would like to see on all our programs and services," he said.
"I had initiated a discussion with some of the people that are here today over the last couple of months on what we could do better at the City of Winnipeg and we've had some good input.
"It was clear to me through those discussions that we needed to take stock of where are current policies are at and make sure we're infusing a very inclusive lens on how we roll things out."
Pride Winnipeg runs from May 27 to June 5, with the parade planned for the final day, beginning at noon at the Manitoba Legislature.
Premier Brian Pallisterhas said he will attend a Pride Winnipeg event this year.
