At the end of the project, the organization will have become an incorporated not-for-profit organization with an effective strong network and partnerships within the LGBTQ2 community across Canada. PCIpc will also have created an organization with a constitution integrating its mandate, an operations manual detailing the organization's policies and procedures, and a two-year strategic plan designed to create, enhance and develop the organization's capacity and implement a global cross-sectoral framework.
