< Meeting with the Pride Elders Group
< Present Bruce Brown, Oriol, Judy Crump, Susanne Litke, Patrick (chair) Linda and Dan (notes)
< Adam: Festival 2020: we've been focussing on what the festival could be and how we can manage it. What's still possible? We still need innovative ways for our community to gather. Comedy shows / drag shows could be a combo of live and prerecorded events. Big things: What can we do to encourage people to get outside and celebrate? Bike rides? Kite flying? Is it possible to have a safe site?
< Blue Sky Possibilities:
< * Watch a movie together watch party
< ** maybe this month Love Scott
< ** maybe next month: You may also be interested in another new film, I Am Skylar, which was filmed in Cape Breton - https://www.nfb.ca/film/i-am-skylar/
< ** Additionally NFB just released Beauty online - https://www.nfb.ca/film/beauty/
< * No matter what we do, there'll be people who are comfortable and ones that are not, ones that can attend and ones that can't.
< * Meal together in Zoom
< * Salon really can go ahead - possibly with remote storytellers which we can't do in the in person ones
< ** this could be rebroadcast via Facebook
< ** To do the combo Zoom / Facebook, We'll need a tech person on hand to simulcast.
< * It would be nice to help the elders get zoom working on their computers.
< * Smaller gatherings in e.g. north end, south end
< * Drive-in show - bring the show to where elders live
< * Games night on Zoom - history trivia quiz?
< * For outdoor events we do need tents
