Women and Gender Equality Canada
Boosting 2SLGBTQI+ Equality Across Québec, Canada
Everyone deserves the freedom to be their authentic selves and have every opportunity to participate in Canada’s economic, social and political life. A society where people are safe, valued, and empowered to reach their full potential is one where everyone thrives.
Today, the Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Canadian Culture and Identity, Parks Canada and Quebec Lieutenant, who is responsible for the Department for Women and Gender Equality, announced up to $718,000 for three Québec-based organizations. This funding will support their community-informed initiatives that address barriers and facilitate systemic change by developing knowledge, tools, and support for 2SLGBTQI+ communities in Québec and across Canada.
This funding builds on the foundation of the 2SLGBTQI+ Federal Action Plan that was announced in August 2022. The Action Plan continues to advance the rights and equality of 2SLGBTQI+ communities in Canada. Through this 2SLGBTQI+ project funding, the Government of Canada is addressing persisting disparities faced by these communities and building a safer, more inclusive country.
