Grants and Contributions

This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Canadian Institute of Forestry (CIF) will achieve this by developing a governance structure through engaging and establishing working partnerships; building the evidence base through data collection on underrepresented groups in greater depth by region; fostering an inclusive culture by developing and providing training and skills development on improving the workplace culture; and repositioning the forest sector with communications strategies and progress tracking.

At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices, encouraging more equitable and effective sharing of resources, and increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change to support women’s equality. CIF will also achieve this by supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power; and addressing persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes.

This project seeks to scale up a past successful project, Gender Equity in the Forest Sector National Action Plan, in accelerating progress on women’s equality and the equality of other under-represented groups in all employment categories in Canada’s forest sector. In this scale up, the project will increase networks and collaboration by leveraging existing National Steering Committee partnerships and build new regional committees in Atlantic, Quebec, Ontario, Prairies and Pacific regions across the forest sector supply chain to provide strategic governance of the project.

This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Fora: Network for Change will achieve this by designing and implementing policies and practices to increase women’s labour market participation and opportunities; engaging women and/or girls with lived experience to influence pandemic recovery responses; and designing and implementing policies and practices to increase women’s leadership in democratic, civic, public or private sectors.

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 supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power to support women’s equality.

This project seeks to fight for a COVID-19 recovery that prioritizes girls’ and women’s full participation in the labour force, by placing young women with lived experiences of the pandemic in decision-making spaces across Canada.

This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change.

This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. The Society for Canadian Women in Science and Technology (SCWIST) will advance women’s equality with a strategic focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math).

At the end of the project, SCWIST will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices, encouraging more equitable and effective sharing of resources, increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change, supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power, and addressing persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes.

This 29-month project will support a feminist response to and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19 through systemic change. To achieve this goal, the Conseil d’intervention pour l’accès de femmes au travail (CIAFT) du Québec inc. plans to: identify the issues driving systemic discrimination against women in employment and conduct focus groups and field investigations to identify issues, needs and problems related to working conditions in traditionally female trades; engage identified partners to create a platform of demands, implement action plans aimed at systemic and specific changes in each employment sector and conduct representation activity with decision makers to initiate systemic changes; develop and implement an awareness campaign and implement a media and press relations strategy to publicize the platform of demands and actions in targeted employment sectors at the provincial level.

By the end of the project, the organization will have helped eliminate systemic barriers by promoting inclusive policies and practices, by expanding networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change and by changing persistent and harmful gender norms and attitudes in support of women’s equality.

Through these activities, the project Réduire la discrimination systémique envers les femmes par la valorisation des métiers majoritairement féminins (reducing systemic discrimination against women by enhancing the value of predominantly female trades) will achieve the following outcomes: target audiences will have access to programs, resources and supports to respond and recover from the impact of COVID-19 on women’s equality; networks and collaboration to expand the scope, impact and sustainability of efforts to respond to and recover from the impacts of COVID-19 on women’s equality will be established; target audiences will use and apply the knowledge gained in their policy and program work to respond to and recover from the impacts of COVID-19 on women’s equality; and policies and practices designed to eliminate barriers to responding to and recovering from the impacts of COVID-19 will be inclusive.

This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change.

This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. The Trucking Human Resources Canada will achieve this by promoting mechanisms for sector-focused systemic change across Canada.

At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to identifying and addressing systemic barriers to gender equality within the Canadian truck transportation sector and drive change from within. The project will identify factors shaping low rates of recruitment and retention of women; identify and disseminate research-based policies and practices that advance inclusive and gender-diverse work environments; develop employer tools and resources designed to reduce or eliminate systemic and gender-specific barriers; facilitate the development of networks; and work to dismantle harmful gender norms and attitudes by increasing awareness of women's roles in the industry.

The Project will support development of intellectual property capacity within the Firm.
