ElderBerries History Talk: Halifax’s Forgotten First Pride March

The front cover of the October, 1988 Wayves Magazine shows LGBTQ marchers on August 1, 1988, headed “Out of the Closets and into the Human Rights Act.” That first Halifax Pride March has been celebrated for decades. Only - it wasn’t the first.

The first Halifax Pride March was in 1987. A production of the Gay Alliance for Equality, it was coordinated by Dalhousie University student Nathan Elling, inspired by Pride Marches he had seen as a teenager in Chicago -- with one difference: choosing not to obtain a street march permit, the 1987 activists marched on the sidewalk.

Now retired from a California catering career and re-settled in Nova Scotia, Nathan Elling will share memories of our almost forgotten 1987 Pride March at the January 26 Elderberries Salon.

Elderberries Members and newcomers alike are invited to attend this free event. Come to hear, or come to share: Elderberries especially welcomes any memories or photos of this march.

Doors open 12:45; program begins 1:00 pm.

Coffee and tea provided. Bring some finger food or snacks or beverages to share if you can.

Where: Adult Day Space, 2630 Gottingen Street (Northwood - use the Gottingen Street entrance)

Drag Story Time: Leading library values

In recent years, Drag Story Times have become one of the most controversial children’s programming offerings in the public library world, striking electric chords with both the political left and right. The Okanagan Regional Library (ORL) has twice found itself at the centre of such controversy. In 2019, Ashley Machum (Head of Youth Services) organized the ORL’s first Drag Story Time, with no idea of the firestorm the program would incur. The ORL’s administration at the time opposed the program, on moral and religious grounds, placing Ashley and her colleagues at the centre of both an internal and an external conflict over intellectual freedom and inclusivity. In 2023, with Danielle Hubbard as the new CEO, the ORL offered another Drag Story Time. Due to the heightened political climate, the event was met with threats, protests, and national media coverage. This time, however, the ORL was unified in its support of the program, and its communication strategy. In this presentation, Ashley and Danielle each provide first-hand accounts of their experiences leading the ORL through these tumultuous events and discuss the core library values that guided their decisions.

Registration required for in person or online participation.
