- 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.

- Halifax Pride is introducing a new community feedback program in 2024/25, replacing the planning committees hosted in previous years. These meetings, open to the public, will each focus on a core aspect of the festival and its planning process.
- Each 60-90 minute session, hosted via Zoom, will give community members the opportunity to learn about current operations and processes, and give direct feedback on areas of improvement or change. The sessions will be facilitated by both a staff member and board member, and conversation will be generally guided by standard questions developed by our team in advance.
