Description:
This 21-month project will be a scale-up of YWCA Metro Vancouver’s previously funded systemic change project, City Shift. Specifically, the project will expand its reach with new audiences, new partnerships with additional municipalities, and will leverage a new suite of resources with the goal of fostering more inclusive and equitable city planning and policy development. This project will create and pilot a peer advocacy prototype partner with new municipalities to pilot Gender-Based Analysis Plus; create a peer advocacy learning module that can be used in future systems-change projects; and expand its reach with the inclusion of more cities through the development and implementation of new resources and workshops. Through expanded government relations and public engagement strategies, the project will centre participant stories to reach new audiences and help create the communities deserved by all.
