Through this 30-month project, Northern BC Queer Connection Society will build stronger capacity of 2SLGBTQI+ community organizations and networks to advance 2SLGBTQI+ equality by building a database of resources and collaborating with community partners. It will address lack of knowledge and access of resources in Northern British Columbia. The project will include establishing a working group of diverse representatives, building of website and database which will be updated on a continually basis. The organization will be engaging the 2SLGBTQI+ community by organizing committees, workshops, and events. An organizational needs assessment will be completed by the working group. The needs assessment will identify appropriate tools and training. The organization will partner with Prince George Sexual Assault Center, Prince George Pride Society, University of Northern BC Pride Club, College of New Caledonia Pride Center, Tourism Prince George, Qmunity and Northern Gender Health Clinic (Blue Pine Clinic). Supplemental funding would be used to enhance their Community Summit Conference by having Egale Canada travel to Prince George, British Columbia to provide a in-person workshop.
