Rebecca Thomas
For Rebecca Thomas, a Mi’kmaq poet and activist, her Christmas memory dates back to Christmas Eve 1998. On this night she experienced a diverse family gathering unlike anything she’d seen before.
“We had this wonderful, multicultural, huge family celebration and that is one of the most beautiful Christmases I can remember,” says Thomas.
Waye Mason

“I lost my mind a little bit,” says Mason, councillor for District 7 (Halifax South Downtown).
Elle Noir
Transgender activist Elle Noir says her favourite Christmas memory came when her now fiancé proposed during the holidays.
“He said he wanted to make sure he was as happy as he was in that moment for the rest of his life,” says Noir.
