About 110 community members attended a Halifax Pride Special General Meeting on the evening of Monday January 23rd, via Zoom.

Meeting Chair Jimmy Mellor said, “We were elected November 7th; we walked into a crisis with eyes wide open, got some committees started, and then the latest crisis started, and our priorities changed dramatically. So here we are.”

Trina James facilitated the meeting which was in three parts: financial status, Q & A, and Elections.
