History
Southwest Nova Pride was conceived one afternoon at Tim Horton’s on Starrs Road in Yarmouth, when
Jack, Danny and Dianne C., created the first announcement to be put in the local newspaper for our first meeting June 25, 2009.
The local Beacon United Church was kind enough to offer us their parlor to hold our meetings, 7 people attended our first meeting and, considering our small community, this was very encouraging.We now meet at Sobeys Community Room On Starrs Rd. in Yarmouth
We are now thrilled to report that, we have about 50 people in our group from all walks of life, age groups and areas – including the Northeastern U.S. Ontario, & the UK .We believe the Gay community in the Yarmouth area is now ready, willing and able to come OUT and play.
Our meetings give us an opportunity to get to know each other, discuss & plan events and
opportunities, as well as having fun at the same time.
The participation of our members is incredible. Our events have been increasingly well attended, which tells us the time is right to make Southwest Nova Scotia a gay friendly place to live and work.
Our agenda is not to be political, only to help all gay people feel at home in Southwest Nova Scotia.
