2009-April-02: PFLAG returns to Halifax; first meeting held at the YouthProject.
2008: RonGarnettDoucette writes: At our last meeting/social this Sunday [December 07, 2008], it was decided that the Halifax PFLAG group dissolve. This comes mostly from a dwindling membership over the past number of years and a lot of the mom’s and dad’s who were involved, were no longer in need of support. I’ll miss the monthly meetings but have to agree with their decision. The 15 years I’ve been involved, I’ve met some wonderful people.
: Support, education and resources. Meetings were held in individual homes.
