Description:

This 12-month project will build partnerships and increase community relations in order to strengthen the overall 2SLGBTQQIA+ community, leading to better understanding and support for 2 Spirit people across Canada. To achieve this, 2 Spirits in Motion Society will work with national Indigenous organizations, national LGBTQQIA+ organizations, universities and community groups to ensure there is space and safety within these organizations for 2 Spirit people. Based on consultations with Indigenous organizations, a data collection and management system to inform on the needs of 2 Spirit people in urban and rural locations will be developed, with the goal of determining the unique needs of 2 Spirit people in different geographic environments. Lastly, addressing the intersectional discrimination that 2 Spirit people encounter, two awareness campaigns, one focused on homophobia and one focused on racism, will be created. The campaigns will promote the visibility and positive representation of 2 Spirit people, in order to create safer places for them in both rural and urban settings across Canada.
