Parks Canada has revoked the permit for Christian rocker Sean Feucht's concert at York Redoubt National Historic Site due to safety and security concerns. The show will now go on at a new venue in Shubenacadie, N.S. Residents had raised concerns about the performance, citing Parks Canada's guiding principles of inclusion and safety for all visitors. Feucht has been criticized for his views on the 2SLGBTQ+ community, abortion rights, and critical race theory [1].

The concert was initially scheduled for Wednesday night at the historic site, but Parks Canada decided to revoke the permit after receiving numerous complaints from residents. The new venue in Shubenacadie was announced to accommodate the event without compromising the safety and security of the historic site and its visitors [2].

Sean Feucht, a rising star in the MAGA movement, is a missionary and author who has spoken out against the 2SLGBTQ+ community, abortion rights, and critical race theory on his website. His upcoming tour, which includes the concert at York Redoubt, is marketed as the "Summer of Revival in the nation of Canada" [1].

Residents in the area have expressed their opposition to the concert, stating that it goes against Parks Canada's guiding principles of inclusion and safety for all visitors. Some residents have even planned to protest the event if it proceeds at the new venue [2].

Liberal MP Shannon Miedema, who represents the area, has also urged Parks Canada to cancel the concert. She stated that she does not believe the event aligns with Parks Canada's core values of respect for people, equity, diversity, and inclusion, or integrity [2].

The York Redoubt National Historic Site, constructed in 1793, is a fortification that played a significant role in protecting the port city of Halifax. The site's historic significance and its role as a public space have been at the center of the debate surrounding the concert [1].
