Elderberries Society of Halifax

Back to the list

The Elderberries is the social and activism group for LGBT Elders in Atlantic Canada. We have four main activities: Social: We usually meet • once a month, all year 'round • usually in Halifax, in the Northwood Penthouse Party Suite • usually on the afteroon of the second Sunday of the month, for fellowship including a pot luck meal. But there are lots of exceptions. Get on our mailing list for the particulars. All events are potlucks, so get out your recipes! Education: Our social events often include an educational topic relating to some element of LGBT elder life. Public Speaking: We have a Speaker's Bureau which can provide informed and witty speakers who have been out and proud for decades, for media and other engagements. We appear at high school Gay Straight Alliance meetings around the province each year as a liaison between elders and high school students. Activism: We lobby various levels of government on a variety of LGBT & elders issues
