Jun 22, 2019 | 4:53 PM

SASKATOON — Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe has attended his first Pride parade.

Moe participated in the Saskatoon Pride Festival parade held on Saturday along with some other Saskatchewan Party MLAs.

Moe’s press secretary Jim Billington says there was a change in Moe’s schedule that allowed him to travel to Saskatoon from his constituency of Rosthern-Shellbrook.

His appearance marks the first time a Saskatchewan Party premier has participated in a Pride parade.

Saskatchewan NDP leader Ryan Meili previously took to Twitter to say that no Saskatchewan Party leader has attended a Pride parade.
