MONTREAL — A well-known Montreal performer whose drag queen storytime event at a local library was cancelled says he’s been invited to meet with elected officials.
Sébastien Potvin, who performs as Barbada de Barbades, learned Monday of the cancellation of the event scheduled for Nov. 5 at a library in Montreal’s St-Laurent borough.
Potvin says that today he received an invitation to meet with the borough’s elected officials in early August.
He says he’s confident the borough council will allow the event to go ahead once they realize that it is age-appropriate and has a positive message.
