Participating Organizations

Sexual Health Resource Centre

The Sexual Health Resource Centre (SHRC) is a sex-positive non-profit service offered by the Acadia Student’s Union. We work to facilitate the advancement, growth, and development of sexual health knowledge and practices by providing inclusive education, resources, referrals, support, and access to sex and gender products for the Acadia community. We primarily serve Acadia students but love to partner with the broader Wolfville community where possible. Follow us on Instagram @SHRCAcadia for evidence-informed educational posts, info on local resources, and more!

AIDS Coalition of Nova Scotia

The AIDS Coalition of Nova Scotia is a non-profit organization that prioritizes the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, helping those with HIV/AIDS, and also works to reduce stigma and issues around mental health and addictions for queer folks. We are excited to attend Valley Pride this year, as we have a provincial mandate and would like to raise awareness about who we are and how people can access the materials and services we provide. This year, we have received over 2,000 HIV self-test kits and are planning to distribute them throughout the province, some of which we plan on bringing with us to Valley Pride. Additionally, we will have pamphlets available, which contain information about safe sex practices, harm reduction, and tips for living a healthy life for individuals who are living with HIV.

Shelter Movers

Shelter Movers Nova Scotia is a local charity that provides free moving and storage services to survivors, primarily women and children, fleeing abuse. With the help of over 300 volunteers and the support of local businesses, we ensure that our community members have a safe and dignified way of leaving their abusers.

The Valley Youth Project

Founded in 2009 as a satellite of the NSYP, the Valley Youth Project (VYP) is an Kentville-based non-profit organization run by local adult volunteers, who are all members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community.  We facilitate twice-monthly drop-ins during the school year, with time for discussion and activities.  We also provide education workshops for youth and adults.The purpose of the VYP is to provide a safe and supportive space for 2SLGBTQI+ youth and their allies to meet, share, and foster a community, and like the NSYP our goal is to make Nova Scotia a safer, healthier, and happier place for young people of all orientations and identities.

The Red Door

The Red Door is a non for profit, community based , sexual health centre. We provide walk in services and booked appointments with physicians. Services include; STI testing , reduced-cost Birth Control, pap testing, gender affirming care, pregnancy terminations, and medical care related to sexual health. The Red Door has been open for 30+ years, providing this essential care to the youth in our community.

Accessibility Notes:

Just Us! is a welcoming business for the Queer Community. Additionally, both the entrance to the Just Us! Cafe and Jack’s Gallery are accessible!

There are automatic doors at the entryway and an accessible, gender-inclusive washroom. However, may it be noted that the washroom has white amenities and white walls for those with lower visual capacities we invite you to consider that before using the space.

Sensory-wise, Jack’s Gallery can be, at times, loud and echoey. However, with the addition of more soft elements within the event setup, it is expected to reduce general space noises.

We invite you to consider this and your own personal ability before attending.

Masks are welcome but not required.
