Pride Festival: Pride and Keri Ottway

pride festival: The parade is part of the city 29th annual Pride Festival, according to The Chronicle Herald. For some people, it was an opportunity for parents to teach their children about diversity and acceptance. Thousands of mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters traveled downtown Saturday to watch or march in the Halifax Pride Parade. Keri Ottway brought her three children to the parade as in previous years. I think that we're moving to a more open-minded society and I try to teach my kids that people can love everyone, said Ottway, who identifies as bisexual. She said the increase in families at pride is a sign of changing attitudes. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
