Community Ties Consultation – Halifax

Help Shape the Future of The ArQuives as we enter an exciting new chapter and continue our national conversation to better understand how The ArQuives can grow its impact and remain responsive to the diverse communities it supports.

We want to hear from 2SLGBTQIA+ community members who already are or might be interested in our programming; researchers, academics, and media who already or might use The ArQuives’ collections in their work; and partner organizations, including libraries, archives, museums, arts and heritage organizations, cultural institutions, and other 2SLGBTQIA+ organizations.

All consultations will be held in buildings with ramps, handrails, and/or elevators with standard accessible elevator platforms and door openings. Additional accessibility accommodations are available upon request through the registration form or by contacting the project coordinator, Nico Mara-McKay

Space and honoraria are limited. Confirmation of participation and location information will be sent within one week of the consultation date. Registration will remain open until sessions are full.

The ArQuives values diversity and is committed to addressing historical inequities within our organization. We especially encourage participation from 2SLGBTQIA+ communities that have been systematically marginalized, including from rural communities and those who are Indigenous, women, trans, nonbinary, gender non-conforming, Black, people of colour, newcomers, and persons with disabilities. We’re hoping to have a wide range of conversations, including young adults and older members of our communities.

Honoraria are available to community members for whom attending is not part of their professional duties. In-person participants will receive a $50 honorarium through e-transfer or cheque following the consultation.

Together, we can shape the future of The ArQuives and build a more inclusive legacy for generations to come.
