This week on "Growing Pictou County", Maddie Kennedy from the Pictou County Partnership and Ann MacGregor from Nova Scotia Works Career Connections talk with Amanda Simmons, from Pictou County Pride about what’s in store for Pride Festival and why Pride is more than a celebration — it’s also advocacy, education, and the effort to create lasting change.

🌈 Pictou County Pride Festival runs from June 16–22, and features events for all ages and identities — including the Pride in Business event on June 17, and Pride on the Waterfront on June 20.
