The Halifax Pride Festival is a community festival. Most of the events you see listed in this guide are planned by community groups, and the Halifax Pride Society is almost entirely made up of volunteer community members (under the leadership of a very overworked and underappreciated executive director). Over the last two years, we’ve worked to change the structure of Halifax Pride so all members of our community have a voice and can be involved as much as their circumstances allow. MORGAN MANZER Chair As you enjoy these 11 days of programming, remember Pride doesn’t just happen once a year. The Pride movement exists every day as advocates and activists lobby, campaign, protest, and create change. Halifax Pride operates year-round as we plan, consult, and evolve. We’re always here to help you meet new people in the community, develop your skills, point you in the direction of community resources, or listen to your concerns. Pride is because of you. It only exists because generous, resilient, and hardworking community members make it happen. If you’ve ever volunteered, joined a committee, sat on the board, or attended a community meeting to let us know when we’ve missed the mark, thank you. If you haven’t been involved yet, or you’re new to the community, look us up and get involved. You can ELLEN DAVIS help us build an even prouder 2019. Vice Chair Happy Pride, Halifax! EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE Welcome to the 2018 Halifax Pride Festival! This festival is created by the community. The board, committee members, volunteers, and staff all invest time and effort in the festival, but we don’t create it. That work is done by you. Each of you creates the festival. The festival, this celebration of community, history, activism, art, and culture, is the result of thousands of people contributing in ways big and small. We organizers are simply here to ADAM REID Executive Director direct some of those energies and help make things go safely and smoothly. For these reasons, you are the festival. This all happens because of you. This community creates the festival, so we work to ensure that accessibility and community engagement is prioritized. Accessibility has been a guiding principle of Halifax Pride for decades, but this year accessibility has been at the heart of all we do. Accessibility for us means breaking down barriers to participation, through the creation of events that are thoughtful, safe, and supportive. Through outreach, feedback, and reflection on the how and why of Halifax Pride, we have explored ways to make this festival and the Pride society more welcoming. We are here to ensure that all those who wish to take part in Pride are able to do so in fulfilling meaningful ways. We strive to be more inclusive, more thoughtful, and more focused on you. Because of you we want this festival to be accessible. Because of you I am passionate about making Pride better. Because of you we must reflect and celebrate not only now, but throughout the year. Thank you for creating Pride. Happy Pride!

    URBAN UNIT RURAL AND SUBURBAN UNIT PRIVATE SECTOR UNITS June 11, 2020 Pride month, pride season, pride forever built on a consciousness of interconnected equity struggles. So this year, we and allies are paying better attention to intersectionality and the origins of Pride – which began with the activism of black trans women including Marsha P. Johnson. We encourage members to learn more about the history of the LGBTQ equity struggle – it's far deeper and more complex than what you see in the mainstream coverage of Pride events. Meanwhile, the COVID-19 crisis aggravates and amplifies long- existing inequalities in our social systems. Pride events are a beautiful and Like other equity-seeking groups, complex union of celebration and the LGBTQ community has been hit resistance. Over the decades, Pride disproportionately in many ways by festivals and parades have done so the crisis, with its impact on much for visibility, community finances, employment access, organizing, and bringing LGBTQ housing, medical care, and other issues and achievements into the issues that are more dangerous for spotlight. anyone who was already facing oppression and discrimination.

    RED RED Nominees Red - Life (Lifetime Achievement) This award recognizes an outstanding individual whose work has enriched Vancouver’s LGBTQ community. Individuals must have dedicated at least 10 years of volunteer service to one or more organizations that promotes one or more of the Vancouver Pride Society’s core values. Shawn Ewing I was born in Calgary, Alberta and moved to Vancouver when I was 8. Spent my school years in North Vancouver and graduated from Carson Graham. Since that time, I have lived in various areas of the Lower Mainland as well as a year in Toronto and three years in Calgary. My first involvement with the Vancouver Pride Society (VPS) was in 2001, when I volunteered to be security at the festival site. I saw, first hand, the great need for people to step up and help. That same year I was appointed a Director on the VPS board and also assumed the Parade Director role. At the following Annual General Meeting (AGM), all but two Directors resigned. Randy Atkinson and I remained. After pleading with the few members present at the AGM to join the Board, we were able to continue with the five people that volunteered. The new Treasurer reviewed the finances and discovered the organization was in debt in excess of $100,000. By the time we presented this to the VPS board, we had grown in numbers and had 10 members. Two choices were presented for the VPS board to consider. One, we could just step away. Two, we could dig in and find a way to make it work.

    Volume 15 Spring 2019 djim.management.dal.ca | Using Tweets as a Measure of Sponsor Engagement: Halifax Pride 2018 Nicole Slipp School of Information Management, Dalhousie University Abstract The following paper considers what researchers can learn from Twitter alone about selected individuals or small groups of users and their sentiments on particular topics. More specifically, it attempts to evaluate the usability of data from Twitter as a measure of sponsor engagement in public events. Given that corporate and government sponsorship of Pride festivals is a pressing ethical concern for LGTBQ communities, this study takes the 2018 Halifax Pride Festival as its case study and performs both quantitative and qualitative analysis of the tweets of sponsors.
