Halifax Pride 2025

Aim, Purpose, & Guiding Principles

In 2020, the Halifax Pride Society reimagined our Mission, Vision, and Values. Through consultation with Indigenous communities, we identified a colonial narrative woven into the concept of a “mission” and as such decided to adopt a new model based on our Aim, Purpose, & Principles. They are as follows:

AIM: An equitable society free from all forms of oppression.

PURPOSE: To create spaces for persons of diverse sexual and gender identities to come together and flourish.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES:

Community: a sense of belonging and connection.

Self-expression: being one’s true authentic self without fear or judgement.

Growth: continually unlearning oppressive social constructs and structures to reimagine and rebuild a system that will champion all voices.
