Join us this Thursday, July 10 to help put up posters along Quinpool starting at 6:00PM on the corner of Quinpool and Oxford and then for a social event afterwards at 7:00PM at the Oxford taproom. We will have posters for you to put up. We hope to see you there! Please RSVP to NSjustice4workers@outlook.com so they can make enough materials for sticking posters to surfaces!
Walk with us in the Halifax Pride Parade
We will be walking with CUPE NS in the parade on Saturday July 19! The parade starts at 12PM and the route is as follows: starting at the east end (roundabout) of Cogswell St, the parade will head east down Cogswell St, turning south onto Barrington St, west onto Spring Garden Rd, north onto South Park St, and end on Bell Rd/Ahern Ave, at the Garrison Grounds. Head to the Halifax Pride website to read more about accessibility!
Meet us at the hill above the oval (pictured below) by 11:30AM so we have time to find the CUPE NS people. You should wear comfortable walking shoes, bring sunscreen or hat for sun protection, and water to stay hydrated!
