There will also be a meeting on Tuesday, Jan 29 at the North End Library, on Gottingen Street, as the organization is looking to “establish a new hire steering committee to conduct a needs assessment and report back to the membership in January 2013.” A press release states:

“A committee has been established and is currently working on collecting and finalizing the data. As per the motion, a meeting has been set up to report these findings back to the membership. The meeting will take place on Tuesday, January 29th at the North End Library, and is open to all members of Halifax Pride.

Halifax’s Queer Acts is making sure they don’t lose their knack during the winter by warming themselves up with a comedy show this Tuesday, Jan 22 at 8pm at the Company House. The theme of the evening is a twisted homage to mothers, entitled Mommie Dearest.

The lineup includes Scott Contessa Bosse, Megan MacKay, Travis Smith, Megan McDowell and Ian Mullan.
