timeOUT Lecture Series
Sponsored by the Nova Scotia Rainbow Action Project (NSRAP)
Now in its fifth year, the timeOUT Lecture Series is your opportunity to hear informed presenters discuss issues of interest to Halifax's diverse communities. NSRAP's philosophy is that Pride can be a time to contemplate diversity in sexual orientation and gender identity, as well as celebrate it. Usually topical, sometimes controversial, always interesting!
Lectures start at NOON
Admission is free.
