The Halifax Pride Parade is coming up fast, and Dal wants you to come show your pride by marching with us in the Parade. The theme this year is "Better Together" and will celebrate the 24th anniversary of the Parade. This year Dalhousie has been given the honour of carrying Ottawa's Pride flag, which measured 30' by 60' and covers almost a full city block! We are looking for a large, strong, Dalhousie contingent to participate in the parade as the Flag itself requires 40 people!
When: July 23rd, Parade Starts at 1:30 (meet at Noon)
Where: Bottom of Cornwallis and Upper Water Street
What does it mean if I march in the Parade?
Your participation in the pride parade demonstrates that you actively support the Rainbow Community at Dalhousie and in the larger community. We encourage you to show your support for our diverse campus community. You are not outing yourself by marching in the parade because the parade is open to the LGBTTQ community and allies/supporters. As well, your family and friends are more than welcome to march with us. The more the merrier!
For more information please contact Sarah-Jo, in the Office of Human Rights, Equity and Harassment Prevention, at sarah.briand@dal.ca. Hope to see you there!!
