The gala is organized by media company Pink Triangle Press to recognize notable LGBTQ2S+ Canadians, who each hand-pick an individual or community organization they feel has made a difference.
The five honourees chosen by the celebrities will receive $5,000, a spot in an advocacy media campaign, and a portion of the proceeds from a silent auction.
Other names being honoured include queer activist Latoya Nugent, two-time Polaris Music Prize winner Jeremy Dutcher and entrepreneur Salah Bachir, who receives the Legacy Award for his philanthropy.
The PTP Pink Awards will feature performances by Wainwright, Dutcher and neo-soul artist Katie Tupper, and will be hosted by drag queen Priyanka, the first-season winner of “Canada’s Drag Race.”
Pink Triangle Press managing director Jennifer McGuire said organizers were inspired to launch the show because of the growing hostile climate towards the LGBTQ2S+ community in many regions.
