Need a good laugh? Our friends at Ctrl-Art-Del have just the ticket!
When her sister Mina falls ill with a mysterious disease of the blood, Lucy Westfeldt and her fiancé, Jonathan Harker, enlist the help of famed vampire hunter Doctor Jean Van Helsing. Their hunt for the dangerous and sexy Count Dracula is a whip-sharp, campy, gender-bending romp where gothic horror meets Monty Python.

Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors plays from April 24-26, 7:30 PM, at the Northern Lights Performing Arts Pavilion. Get tickets at tickets.ctrlartdel.ca

Today, March 31st, we celebrate International Transgender Day of Visibility — uplifting the accomplishments & offering our gratitude for the remarkable resilience of our transgender and non-binary community.

Visibility is powerful - it sparks change, fosters understanding and reminds us all that everyone deserves to be seen, heard and embraced exactly as they are. Minden Pride in the Haliburton Highlands is committed to advancing equity for our transgender and non-binary community members. Today & Everyday: We see you. We celebrate you. We stand with you. Your courage, joy and authenticity make our community stronger and more vibrant.

🏳️‍⚧️ You are loved. You are valued. You belong. 🏳️‍⚧️

“Remember this, whoever you are, however you are, you are equally valid, equally justified, and equally beautiful.” – Juno Dawson

Let’s uplift trans voices, share trans stories, and continue working toward a world where everyone can live with dignity and pride. Together We Rise.

Minden Pride in Haliburton Highlands would like to

Minden Pride in Haliburton Highlands would like to extend our thanks to the Dysart Council for their decision to fly the Pride Flag during our annual Pride Week Festival August 18th to 24th.

The new flag policy was adopted by Council at their November meeting and the Pride Flag is now a pre-approved community flag that is to be raised annually in Dysart et al during Pride in the Highlands.

While this moment has been long-awaited by many, its arrival is no less powerful. This simple yet profound act sends a clear message: everyone, no matter who they love or how they identify, is valued and belongs here.

While division can so often overshadow unity, the Pride Flag is more than just a symbol for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. It is a beacon of inclusion, affirmation and hope for everyone.

This step forward offers an opportunity to grow as a community. To proudly share our values of kindness, respect and dignity. To celebrate our diversity and reaffirm our commitment to building a future where each of us is included.
A commitment for which all of us at Minden Pride are grateful.

We will continue to build Pride in the Highlands and create a community where Everyone is Welcome. Together We Rise.

All of us at Minden Pride in the Haliburton Highla

All of us at Minden Pride in the Haliburton Highlands are committed to creating and sustaining safe, inclusive spaces both online and offline.

In light of META’s recent announcement that it will no longer fact-check posts across its platforms or monitor hate speech, and its decision to remove protections for minority groups - including members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community - our use of both Instagram and Facebook will change going forward.

We unequivocally do not condone META’s new direction. We believe these policy changes compromise the integrity and safety of the online spaces where many of us once found connection and validation. We no longer believe that META’s platforms can serve as safe environments for our community to engage.

As such, we will be making the following changes to our social media use:

We will be disabling comments and hiding like counts.
We will no longer engage in chat functions on either platform.

We will continue to post information about community events, our generous supporters and our annual festival. Our commitment to communicate transparently and meet everyone where they are remains unwavering.

Our community’s resilience and solidarity are stronger than any single platform and we will continue to provide trusted spaces where everyone can engage, share their experiences and support one another. As we work to explore alternative communication options and expand our engagement resources you can continue to reach us at connect@mindenpride.ca.

Thank you for standing with us as we work to uphold the values of dignity, respect and inclusion in every space we share. Together We Rise.

🌈 As the year comes to a close, we reflect on the power of unity, resilience, and love that our community embodies. In a world that often challenges us, we continue to find strength in each other — in friends and neighbours, in our chosen families and the shared moments that remind us we are never alone.

🎄 This holiday season, let’s honor the beauty of our diversity and the hope that fuels our fight for equality. No matter how you’re celebrating, know that YOU are part of something bigger: a community that stands together, no matter what.

🌟 And so, from our family to yours: May your days be filled with warmth, peace, and pride. And may we continue to light the way for a brighter, more inclusive tomorrow.

From all of us at Minden Pride in Haliburton Highlands,
Happy Holidays!
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

We are deeply saddened by the recent act of homophobic vandalism at Head Lake Park in Haliburton. Like all public spaces in our community, Head Lake Park is meant to be a place where everyone—regardless of who they love or how they identify—should feel welcome, safe, and respected.

Acts of hate like this remind us that the work of building a truly inclusive community is far from over. Minden Pride stands firm in our commitment to fostering love, understanding, and unity. We encourage our neighbors to join us in rejecting hate and building a future where all people are free to live authentically and without fear.

Minden Pride will continue to work with the local community to ensure that our public spaces reflect the values of inclusion, dignity and respect and the important message that Everyone is Welcome here.
