🌈 Announcing Our 2026 Pride Parade Grand Marshals! 🌈

We are beyond thrilled to announce that Mads & Kat, founders and owners of On the Same Page, will be leading the way as our 2026 Pride Parade Grand Marshals!✨

Both Mads and Kat grew up right here in Cape Breton. Their story started back in 2022 while working together at a local coffee shop where they met and fell in love. Fast forward to June 2025, they turned a shared dream into reality by opening On the Same Page in the heart of downtown Sydney.

Since opening their doors, Mads and Kat have built far more than a bookstore. They’ve cultivated a vital, vibrant, and welcoming hub for community. As a proud q***r-owned business, On the Same Page provides a safe, supportive space for 2SLGBTQIA+ folks, allies, and book lovers of all kinds. From hosting bustling q***r artisan markets to holding book launches and author meet-and-greets celebrating 2SLGBTQIA+ literature, their dedication to uplifting local voices and creating connection shines through everything they do.

Please join us in celebrating Mads and Kat for their incredible impact, leadership, and heart! 💖🎉

The bookstore will be open today from 9am-1pm!

✨ ALL DRINKS ARE $5 TOMORROW! ✨

Come grab a matcha, cold brew, chai, or whatever drink your heart desires 💚

I’ll be set up at On the Same Page Books from 9 AM–1 PM, and I’d love to see you there!

For real though… I have *a lot* of leftover stock after a vendor event didn’t quite go as planned 😅 So come show some love, help me clear out the fridge, and treat yourself to a yummy drink for $5 💕
