The Pride Centre of Edmonton

Published purpose

Through this 41-month project, The Pride Centre of Edmonton (TPCE) will strengthen the capacity of 2SLGBTQI+ community organizations and networks to advance 2SLGBTQI+ equality. By adopting anti-oppressive and anti-racist employment practices, fiscal planning, and implementing recommended strategies for operational development, it will ensure the organization’s growth and sustainability on the overall operating structure. The project will include an environmental scan, needs assessment, the development of an operational and action plan, an evaluation and risk framework to build and strengthen the TPCE’s operational capacity to help them meet the growing needs of the 2SLGBTQI+ community in Alberta. With the supplemental funds and extension provided in early 2026, The Pride Centre of Edmonton (TPCE) will undertake a comprehensive strengthening of its Human Resources systems through: a full organizational HR review and compliance scan; the development of updated, equity-informed HR policies, compensation frameworks, and hiring practices; and the implementation and coaching support required to include these improvements into daily operations and governance structures. Through this they will embed intersectional, anti-oppressive, and gender-affirming practices into its workforce structures to further advance gender equality.
