Through this 24-month project, the Fédération des communautés culturelles de l’Estrie will help advance women’s economic security and prosperity through systemic change. In particular, the project will address systemic barriers within Estrie organizations operating in the economic sphere, whether in education, career counselling, entrepreneurship, advocacy, or budget counselling. This will be achieved through creating partnerships, establishing an advisory committee, conducting a needs analysis among immigrant women, analyzing partner organizations’ client reception and services, and implementing strategies for adapting services in the area and sharing lessons learned. A Gender-Based Analysis Plus consultant will take part in various stages of the project, and an external evaluation will measure and assess the impact of this systemic change project.

Through this 29-month project, the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs (CAFC) will help advance women’s economic security, prosperity, and representation in leadership and decision-making roles. Specifically, the project will address the needs and barriers to equality for women in the firefighting industry by creating, piloting and evaluating anti-bullying strategies and through the development of mitigation strategies. The statements themselves will promote understanding and help to depersonalize the context of bullying, support victims and encourage an accountable, respectful, and safe workplace. The development of these statements, in consultation with CAFC members, will result in the provision of educational materials and a code of conduct to promote an anti-bullying culture within the sector. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the systemic change project
