Meet with some of the veterans who worked hard to make Halifax a Pride-ful place, and AUA -- ask us anything about what it was like, what it felt like, how we lived and loved and worked to change the world and change Halifax. We'll have a history display up, photos flashing by on a screen that our elders can talk about, and perhaps a Human Library where you can talk one-on-one with someone who had a hand in creating the community that you now enjoy. Or, you can just sit back and listen to the old-timers tell stories about the good, and bad, old days, around a big table. ''In 150 words or less, please summarize your reasons for hosting this event'' We've been planning this event for several years, and it's time to do it. We want to provide the opportunity for youth and elders to connect, and for people to share stories from times when it hasn't always been like this. The Elderberries has a formidable resource of storytellers who regularly volunteer to do this type of presentation so it is definitely in our wheelhouse.
