About Building Bridges
The Building Bridges project works to increase the understanding of anti-racism, Indigenization and faith in Canada from a 2SLGBTQI context to foster dialogue between historically diverse groups and 2SLGBTQI serving organizations to work toward the elimination of racism, prejudice and discrimination in Canada. This project is a collaboration between Egale Canada, The Enchanté Network and Rainbow Faith & Freedom, with financial support from Heritage Canada.

Building Bridges Speaker Series
In Spring 2024 we held a series of webinars focused on anti-racism, Indigenization, and faith within the 2SLGBTQI community that explores how 2SLGBTQI community-serving organizations can employ intersectionality as an organizational practice for Community/Solidarity, Accountability, Reflexivity, Equity and Sustainability CARE(S).
Session 1:
Introduction to Intersectionality
Session 1 serves to (re)introduce the Black feminist concept of intersectionality, explore its implications, and affirm its relevance to 2SLGBTQI organizations.
Session 2:
Policy
Development
Session 2 explores how organizations can foster belonging through policy development. The objective is to discuss the ways marginalization is (re)produced at the level of policy and organizational procedures and how this can be addressed through a lens of CARE.
Session 3:
Community
Engagement
Session 3 is about using intersectionality to guide organizations’ community engagement and external relations. It will frame intersectionality in this context as a practice of Solidarity / CARE.
Session 4
Program
Development
Session 4 is dedicated to exploring how intersectionality can be weaved into program design and evaluation through a framework of CARE. The objective is to discuss and address the ways that marginalization is (re)produced at the level of program design, delivery and evaluation.
RECORDINGS COMING SOON
All sessions in the speakers series were recorded and will be uploaded to Egale’s YouTube channel and to this webpage.
