These are early days in Nova Scotia’s response to the COVID-19 crisis, but we want to let our community know that Halifax Pride is actively assessing the possible impacts on the 2020 Halifax Pride Festival. We remain hopeful that we will be able to create space for folks to gather from July 16-26, 2020, but ensuring the health and wellbeing of our community is our main priority. Halifax Pride will continue to monitor the rapidly changing situation and will follow the advice of public health experts and government officials.
For the time being, Halifax Pride will work electronically with our 2SLGBTQ+ community of volunteers, organizers, partners, and sponsors to prepare for the 2020 Halifax Pride Festival. We are also preparing contingency plans to address a range of possible scenarios for what the 2020 Halifax Pride Festival could look like.
We encourage everyone to stay safe and keep an eye on our social media channels in the coming weeks and months as we share updates on our plans for the 2020 Halifax Pride Festival.
