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
- 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
- Smaller gatherings
- For some of us the last thing we want to do is another thing by zoom
- History walk - Zuppa circus has been interest in this. Maybe combine content from Before The Parade'
- Chair volleyball: chairs 6' apart
- Chair yoga
- Cooking show / healthy eating
- Daily social distant yoga / aerobics, yoga for beginners, elders.
Oriole: Accessibility: we could broadcast a zoom call over a Facebook page.
