Inclusive Roads: Electric Futures; Electric Vehicle Information for the 2SLGBTQ Community
Thursday July 23, 2026 4:00pm - 6:30pm ADT
Halifax Central Library @ 5440 Spring Garden Road
Most popular car brands are coming out with their own electric vehicle models, but we often only hear press about a select few. If you are curious about EVs, but unsure where to go to discuss your choices, CAA Atlantic and Next Ride are partnering to provide a safe and welcoming environment for members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community to ask questions and learn about the full range of e-mobility options available from automotive brands who aren't afraid to demonstrate their support and affirmation of queer folk.

Halifax Naked Peace Protest Ride & March
Sunday July 26, 2026 12:00pm - 2:00pm ADT
Halifax Commons @ North Park Street, Halifax, NS
A fun free-spirited tradition that has been held locally for over a decade (and globally for even longer!), where attendees are welcome to strip down and shed their shame as they take to the city streets in celebration of our natural world and the beauty of all bodies! You can Ride or March, whether with your bike, wheelchair, scooter, or your own two feet; whatever gets your body moving! Come join in or show your support by cheering us on! In a time when so many bodies are policed or made the subject of political rhetoric and autonomy taken away, one of the many positive messages we want to promote is that nudity should not be viewed as inherently sexual, but rather should be accepted as a beautiful part of life and a symbol of freedom. Our goal is to have 100 attendees this year! So spread the word and get excited! And if you're interested in helping out, we can always use more volunteers!
