Film Screening: Parade: Queer Acts of Love & Resistance
Tuesday July 21, 2026 6:30pm - 9:00pm ADT
Parade: Queer Acts of Love and Resistance presented by the Nova Scotia Office of Equity and Anti‑Racism and Halifax Pride, in collaboration with the Canadian Museum of Immigration.

We are excited to present a screening of the National Film Board documentary Parade: Queer Acts of Love & Resistance.

Parade: Queer Acts of Love & Resistance captures pivotal moments that sparked Canada’s 2SLGBTQIA+ movement, honouring the activists and elders whose resistance led to the rights we have today.

Through rarely seen archival footage and first-person accounts, audiences are brought to the frontlines of the struggle. From police raids to early drag shows, community organizing to the House of Commons - the complex history of our country’s diverse communities is brought to life. Key milestones illustrate the power of taking it into the streets and underscore how easily the rights we’ve fought for can be revoked.

This free screening is being presented by the Nova Scotia Office of Equity and Anti‑Racism and Halifax Pride, in collaboration with the Canadian Museum of Immigration.

Date and Time: July 21, 7pm
Please note that limited seating is available, so advanced registration is required. https://forms.gle/KxjVrwz34SKiqUfQ9

Gays on the Clocktower: A Blood on the Clocktower Special for Pride!
Thursday July 23, 2026 6:00pm - 10:00pm ADT
Blood on the Clocktower is a bluffing game enjoyed by players on opposing teams of Good and Evil, now with a custom script for Pride! "In the quiet village of Ravenswood Bluff, ‌a demon walks amongst you..." Join Andrey as Storyteller for this spooky mystery game! NEW! This session features a custom script to celebrate Pride! Beginners always welcome but this will be a more advanced script! During a hellish thunderstorm, on the stroke of midnight, there echoes a bone-chilling scream. The townsfolk rush to investigate and find the town storyteller murdered, their body impaled on the hands of the clocktower, blood dripping onto the cobblestones below. A Demon is on the loose, murdering by night and disguised in human form by day. Some have scraps of information. Others have abilities that fight the evil or protect the innocent. But the Demon and its evil minions are spreading lies to confuse and breed suspicion. Will the good townsfolk put the puzzle together in time to execute the true demon and save themselves? Or will evil overrun this once peaceful village? Blood on the Clocktower is a bluffing game enjoyed by 5 to 15 players on opposing teams of Good and Evil, overseen by a Storyteller player who conducts the action and makes crucial decisions. The goal of the game is to successfully deduce and execute the demons before they outnumber the townsfolk. During a 'day' phase players socialize openly and whisper privately to trade knowledge or spread lies, culminating in a player's execution if a majority suspects them of being Evil. At 'night' time, players close their eyes and are woken one at a time by the Storyteller to gather information, spread mischief, or kill. Admission is $10 each (+tax and Eventbrite fees), granting everyone access to both the event, and our collection of 600+ board games before and after the event (provided there is space)!
