Description:
This 7-month project will build the capacity of 2SLGBTQI+ community-serving organizations and networks to advance the equality of older 2SLGBTQI+ adults. This will be achieved through the founding and incorporation of a pan-Canadian coalition which will focus on 2SLGBTQI+ older people. The purpose of the coalition will be to build networks, research, education, and partnerships that support the health and well-being of 2SLGBTQI+ older people and raise awareness about their challenges while advocating for policy changes to improve lives.
In addition to incorporating, Senior Pride Network Canada will develop a 3-year strategic plan. The coalition will undergo a process of data compilation and member input to ensure that its strategic plan is informed by the needs and priorities of the older 2SLGBTQI+ communities.
This project will enable Senior Pride Network Canada to develop a GBA+ framework, build capacity and awareness, develop recommendations for policies and programs and to advocate for change.
