Details for: Love in a Dangerous Time | Exhibition Open & Conversation

We look forward to you joining us for an evening of conversation exploring Canada’s LGBT Purge, when the Canadian government investigated, harassed and expelled thousands of 2SLGBTQ+ employees, military personnel, and members of the RCMP during the Cold War — ruining careers and lives. The exhibition reveals this largely unknown history and tells the stories of survivors who, in 2018, fought back and won a major class action lawsuit against the government of Canada. Survivors of the Purge will be joined by local personalities and recent service members:
  • Michael Phair | Founding Member, Edmonton Queer History Project
  • Michelle Douglas | Executive Director, Purge Fund
  • John McDougal | Chair, Edmonton Police Commission
  • Antoine Lavoie | Proprietor, Delavoye Chocolate Maker
