Accessibility Notes:
The Pride March will begin with speakers at Clock Park and proceed down the sidewalks of Main Street to Waterfront Park. May it be noted that Clock Park has gravel-based walkways and is subject to general street noise and passersby.
Sidewalks in Wolfville are generally accessible; however, they are subject to mild bumps and curves. Sidewalk patios are now in place and maybe create close quarters when meeting individuals moving in the opposite direction.
The March will involve large groups of people and loud sounds, and could be subject to moments of increased sensory while walking and engaging in multiple conversations or interactions.
The walk will transition from the sidewalk to the Harvest Moon Rail Trail for a small portion of the walk to connect the group to Waterfront Park.
We invite you to consider this and your own personal ability before attending.
Masks are welcome but not required.
There will be ASL interpretation for this event.
Close accessible parking is located at the Wolfville Library.
