CAYR Community Connections

Published purpose

Through this 32-month systemic change project, CAYR Community Connections will help advance women and gender diverse people’s economic security and prosperity through systemic change. Specifically, the project will address systemic barriers by addressing institutional barriers to inclusion in York Region. The project will engage an expert in Safer Spaces programming to co-develop a module on barriers to economic security and prosperity, which will be added to their existing Safer Spaces curriculum. This will include engaging with women and gender-diverse people and stakeholders in York Region, and then creating and delivering the customized safer spaces training to stakeholders in the area. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the systemic change project.
