Newfoundland & Labrador - Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island - page 498

Halifax is by far this region's gayest city, with a humming nightlife scene, publications,
and lots of associations and support groups. It has a sizeable pride celebration, too, which
attracts big crowds.
While very low-key, Prince Edward Island also has a decent-sized gay population and
has a small pride event in July.
The following are good resources for gay travel; they include Canadian information,
though not all are exclusive to the region.
