Community Meetings
Join us for an Information Session for Community Event Planners & Festival Performers on Monday, March 18th at 6:30pm.
The Halifax Pride Society regularly hosts community meetings to gather feedback and update the community on our activities. Halifax Pride invites community input on a variety of subjects brought forth by the community and will typically announce topics we wish to cover prior to the meeting.
Please visit our Facebook page for the latest on our Community Meetings.
HEY! THIS IS IMPORTANT!
Halifax Pride is committed to encouraging conditions for safer spaces at our community gatherings. Everyone must feel respected, valued for who they are, and able to express themselves, regardless of their gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, race, age, physical or mental ability.
Halifax Pride commits to and encourages all those who gather with us to:
Speak from personal experiences and avoid speaking on behalf of others
Try to use "I" statements to share reactions or experiences "I feel..." "I am affected by..."
Don't make assumptions about others’ identity or experiences
Be mindful of how long and often we speak so that everyone has a chance to contribute
Consider the impact of privilege and intersectionality on discussions
Listen to each other so we understand the various perspectives
Clarifying questions are encouraged
Share beliefs, opinions, and points of view rather than judgements
Allow others to speak and refrain from side conversations
Maintain confidentiality. Information shared should stay with the group
Notify a meeting organizer with specific concerns about being identified or photographed
We are all here to learn and all have things to offer the space
