Egale Canada

Published purpose

Through this 10-month project, Egale Canada will advance social, political, and economic equality for Canada’s 2SLGBTQI communities by addressing systemic barriers to inclusion and fostering advocacy capacity. This will be achieved by hosting the Pride 7 (P7) Summit, a platform for advocates, policymakers, and civil society leaders to develop actionable, evidence-based policy recommendations tailored to Canada’s domestic priorities. Key activities include conducting pre-Summit consultations to equip Canadian organizations with tools and knowledge, hosting the Summit to align priorities and produce a comprehensive communiqué, and organizing post-Summit working meetings to operationalize recommendations and ensure their integration into ongoing Canadian advocacy initiatives. Monitoring and evaluation activities, including pre- and post-Summit surveys and focus groups, will assess knowledge gained, network growth, and the project’s overall impact. This initiative, delivered in partnership with Dignity Network Canada and in collaboration with Égides, Oxfam Canada, Cooperation Canada, and other local organizations, policymakers, and partners, will strengthen Canadian 2SLGBTQI advocacy by providing practical tools and resources, fostering long-term collaboration, and addressing systemic barriers to equality.
