The Nova Scotia Nurses’ Union is eagerly preparing for Pride 2022, and this time, traditional Parades and live Pride events are back in full force! With both virtual and in-person events on the calendar this year, you’re sure to find an opportunity to celebrate Pride in whatever way makes you most comfortable.
The NSNU is proud to sponsor Pride events and performances across the province, including a Halifax Pride Gold sponsorship. Halifax Pride, Cape Breton Pride, and other organizations across Nova Scotia are working hard to create events that celebrate the history, culture, activism and perseverance of the queer community.
The NSNU is excited to be marching in various parades across the province, including the Halifax Pride Parade on Saturday, July 16. President Janet Hazelton celebrated at her local Truro Pride Parade on June 25 and many other NSNU staffers and Board Members will be attending Pride events across the province all summer.
We encourage our members to celebrate by joining the Pride events are most convenient to them. You can find information about Pride and more about Pride events in your area at nsnu.ca/pride.
We are proud to represent many members within the 2SLGBTQ+ community, working in acute, long-term and community settings across the province.
