Through this 49-month project, Les Femmes Michif Otipemisiwak (LFMO) will contribute to the empowerment of Métis women by creating leadership resources and fostering networks necessary to enhance their leadership capabilities.

The development of the Empowering Métis Women in Leadership Curriculum and resources, will address topics through an approach centered on the Métis Holistic Lifelong Learning Model that can begin the process of decolonizing leadership by exploring strengths and weaknesses, including how colonial education systems continue to influence individuals, families, and communities inside and outside of school or formalized learning environments. The development process will include engagement and consultation with subject matter experts, Traditional Knowledge holders and Métis women and gender-diverse folks to continually inform project outputs.

Once developed, the curriculum and resources will first be piloted and then implemented nationally, available for all Métis women and gender-diverse people. Through this work, LFMO will begin to set the stage for systemic change in which Métis women and gender-diverse people will experience equity and equality in leadership roles.

Through this 25-month project, Wabanaki Two Spirit Alliance will address the needs and barriers to equality for 2SLGBTQQIA+ communities, specifically for Two-Spirit, Trans, and Youth in the Wabanaki territory. This will be achieved by identifying barriers and better practices through literature and resources review, needs assessments, community and organizational engagement and consultations, and knowledge sharing events.

At the end of the project, Wabanaki Two Spirit Alliance will have developed and shared community-led policy recommendations on a wide-range of issues related to health care and mental health, social services, housing needs, cultural specific and safe care, and education for Wabanaki 2SLGBTQQIA+ members.

This project will engage Veterans, families and service organizations across Canada to co-design a continuum of care that supports the mental health and substance use health of Veterans and their families. This will be done in partnership with the Atlas Institute for Veterans and Families and McMaster University, leveraging the SC2.0 model.
