Through this 18-month project, the Native Women’s Shelter of Montreal will build its capacity to advance gender equality. It will address the governance gaps in its second- stage housing program, Miyoskamin, with a primary focus on assessing, building, and solidifying the systems, processes, policies, and structures integral to Miyoskamin’s transition towards an independent organization. The project will include a needs assessment; staff and management training; and the development of a strategic plan, human resource guidelines, and a funding strategy. This will ensure the establishment of strong foundations that enable Miyoskamin to develop sustainably based on a solid governance and leadership vision, allowing it to better serve the specific housing needs of Indigenous women, non-binary individuals, and their children in Montreal.

Through this 18-month project, North Point Douglas Women’s Centre (NPDWC) will build its capacity to advance gender equality by addressing the organization’s policies, procedures and practices. The project will include evaluating, developing and revising policies and bylaws to align with 2SLGBTQIA+ applicable legislation and acts on Indigenous women and Service users. The organization will establish a clear direction and outline attainable and measurable goals to collaborate with their staff and review resources to address safe space and accessibility in their community along with improving the understanding of the organization’s mission, vision, guiding values and principles and staff roles. Through community consultations, review and development of a 5-year strategic plan and updated financial policies and procedures NPDWC will obtain the tools and knowledge to help build their organizational credibility and financial capacity.

Through this 31-month project, Edmonton Centre for Race and Culture will help advance representation in leadership and decision-making roles for Black Women, Indigenous Women, Racialized Women, and Women with Disabilities through systemic change. Specifically, the project will address systemic barriers within policies and practices across institutions (private or public organizations, entities, or structures) by creating networks and collaborations that will transform Human Resource (HR) policies and practices.

This will be achieved by convening women, decision makers, and HR professionals in urban and rural areas of Alberta for Peacemaking Circles and engagement activities, including Systems Mapping workshops, to create a collective understanding of the systemic challenges and opportunities. This collaboration and co-creation will work to inform the strategic direction and articulate a vision of systems redesign. By utilizing scenario planning, developing and implementing a guided approach, and creating an innovation pipeline, Edmonton Centre for Race and Culture will create and test solutions that will advance diversity, inclusion, and equity through the systemic transformation of human resource policies and practices. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the systemic change project.
