Halifax Pride is aware of the recent reports regarding an arrest made in connection with threats targeting our festival.
The safety of our community remains our highest priority. Our team has spent months developing detailed safety and security plans for the Parade in collaboration with a range of public safety partners, including emergency services, our event safety team, and Halifax Regional Police. Those plans remain in place and continue to be reviewed as needed.
While we cannot comment on an active investigation, we remain in regular contact with emergency response partners and will do so throughout the festival.
We look forward to celebrating with our community over the next eleven days.
