What's different a year after the wildfires? | SaltWire #novascotia #firefighting #wildfires #newsSUSSEX, N.B. — A pride flag raising at Sussex Town Hall will celebrate growing support for diversity in the community, organizers say.
"I think things have changed a little bit, we're seeing more recognition for diversity and inclusion in the community," Nightingale said."I'm really excited that we're going to have the first pride flag flown downtown, right there on Main Street." "This is a commemorative day ... to pay respects to those who have experienced homophobia, biphobia and transphobia, and also to bring light to the fact this is still very pervasive in our communities," Nightingale said."Given the climate of today, it's really important that we are recognizing it and calling it out."
Sussex Mayor Marc Thorne said in an email that the town has a"long-standing practice" of letting organizations fly their flags during days of"provincial or national recognition."
