Defining Moments Canada (DMC) has a project called Proud to Be: Queer Canadian Histories of the 1960s-1970s. They are creating a map of queer spaces across Canada for young people - junior and senior high school I think.

Topic: Places, spaces, that were important to the Q community in the 1960s and 1970s.

I anticipate inviting about 15 people. We will make it clear that we have limited room and will be creating a specificically diverse room.

Invitation

Halifax Spaces & Places Meeting ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you are, or you know of someone who has a really good memory for LGBT spaces and places in Halifax and Nova Scotia in the 1970s, please read on.

Elderberries is hosting a "high tea" -- a substantial mid afternoon meal -- with a discussion about which spaces and places should get included in a short list.

The event is from 2:00 to 4:00 (and maybe a little later) on November 27th.

We're tempting you with gourmet food, and there'll be some social time too. Your chef will be Elderberries member Nathan Elling, former owner of Mana Cuisine in Los Angeles. Nathan worked for 10 years in LA catering large events and private parties.

We'll have limited space at the table. If you know someone with a good memory for places, please encourage them to contact us; if you do, please write back.
