Through this 17-month project, Thunder Pride Association will build stronger capacity of 2SLGBTQI+ community organizations and networks to advance 2SLGBTQI+ equality. It will address the need to increase organizational capacity to advocate for, educate, advance, celebrate and create opportunities for those in the 2SLGBTQ+ community to live safely and openly as themselves in Thunder Bay and Northwestern Ontario. The project will build and expand connections in Thunder Bay and surrounding northern communities, including a specific focus on reaching out to Indigenous communities and groups. This will be accomplished by holding online and in-person community meetings and events, conducting a needs assessment, sharing results with stakeholders and developing a volunteer engagement plan to engage in next steps.
