Dalhousie will have a contingent marching in the Halifax Pride Parade on July 26th, and we would love to have you march with us! 



Want to be part of the parade? Members of the Dal community will be meeting at the Dockyards (where Cornwallis and Lower Water meet) between 12:30 and 12:45 p.m. to meet up with the rest of the Dal contingent (look for the Dal Security vehicle).  Dal Pride t-shirts will be available onsite for parade participants while supplies last.

Prefer to cheer from the sidelines? Join Dal’s Res Life team in front of the Architecture building (2410 Spring Garden Road). There will be face painting, Tiger tattoos and thunder sticks onsite and we encourage you to show your Dal pride by wearing Dal gear!

Time

July 26 2014, 12:30 – 12.45 p.m. (meeting time for marchers)

Parade begins at 1.30 p.m. from 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 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. Family and friends are more than welcome to march with us in the parade as well - the more the merrier! 

What does marching in the pride parade entail? 

The parade is the 4th largest in Canada and has been designated a Hallmark event by HRM. We hope that if you don't march, you come out to cheer us on! Dalhousie friends and family are welcome to gather at 5410 Spring Garden Rd. Res Life staff will be on hand to help with face paint!
