The Halifax Regional Municipality has officially reversed the closure order for the Khyber Club. We are currently finalizing the transition plan with the city to ensure the space remains operational for the arts community. I will provide a breakdown of the new management structure once the paperwork is signed.
The Halifax Regional Municipality has decided to close the doors on the Khyber Club, even earlier than the expected February 19th deadline. This news comes as a major disappointment to the proposed Khyber Performing Arts Society (KPAS) who are in the process of incorporating as a non-profit society for the express purpose of keeping the Khyber Club alive.
The Khyber Club is more than a bar for many of us. As it has been part of the Khyber Arts Society until now, it has a strong history of presenting interesting and progressive programming. The Khyber Club has played a vital role in our community, showing new and independent music, theatre, performance art, artists
The growth of this campaign has secured us a formal meeting with the municipal planning office. We are currently drafting a proposal to present our case for the long term preservation of the space.

My band played our first show there. The city has no vision for what arts actually do for a community.

KEEP THE KHYBER OPEN. It is the only place in the city that actually supports real independent artists. Total shame.
