Elders Survey - Halifax Pride 2019

The following survey was created to help Halifax Pride's Elder Committee identify ways to make the Halifax Pride Festival and Society more accessible to elder participation. We appreciate the input of all those who self-identify as elders, as your feedback will help direct the creation of new events and policies.
