This 25-month project will build and strengthen access to gender-affirming healthcare in New Brunswick through the development of a training and mentorship program for primary care providers. Imprint Youth Association Inc. will achieve this by partnering with health clinics and LGBTQ2 advocacy organizations across the province to facilitate recruitment, training and information sharing across existing networks in New Brunswick. In addition, they will create an up-to-date directory of service providers to guide trans people looking for care and develop educational and training materials reflective of urban and rural contexts to allow for continuity once the project is complete.

This project seeks to address trans healthcare gaps and achieve long-term sustainability by increasing the number of providers offering gender-affirming healthcare in the province, by improving retention of providers through clinical support and by offering service on a greater geographical scale. Community partners will include several health clinics, professors at the University of New Brunswick, and 2SLGBTQ+ advocacy organizations across New Brunswick. The organization will also collaborate with PEI’s Gender Affirming Health Services program.

This 25-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. The Canadian Federation of Business and Professional Women (BPW Canada) will achieve this by addressing discriminatory legislation, policies, and/or practices that prevent women and/or girls from fully participating in the social, political and economic spheres; designing and implementing policies and practices to increase women’s labour market participation and opportunities; and engage men and boys to combat harmful gender norms and advance gender equality. BPW Canada will also develop and implement community-based approaches to address intersectional barriers to equality for diverse women, and build relationships between equality-seeking organizations and other stakeholders to collaborate across sectors to advance gender equality.

At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices, increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change, and addressing persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes, to support women’s equality.

This 25-month project will develop, implement, and test a culturally appropriate, community-based intimate partner violence (IPV) prevention-focused service delivery and policy framework to effectively address the root causes of gender-based violence within Alberta’s Black and African communities. The Pan African Collaboration for Excellence (PACE) with the University of Alberta will achieve this through the collaborative, equitable, and participatory development of a comprehensive IPV prevention framework; the development of a core resource kit to support implementation of the framework; adapting core material into a diversified resource kit for community-based service and program providers to implement the framework; and the continuous monitoring and evaluation of the initiative.

At the end of the project, the University of Alberta will have developed a promising practice that produced and analyzed data to inform inclusive policies and strategies; engaged Black women and girls as decision-makers and agents of change; addressed and disrupted racialized and stereotypical narratives about IPV in Alberta’s Black communities; and strengthened networks and collaborations for IPV prevention within and outside Black communities.
