Description (French)
Grâce à ce projet d’une durée de 27 mois, la Fernie Pride Society cernera les besoins et les obstacles à l’égalité pour les communautés 2ELGBTQI+. Cela sera fait par la schématisation et le dressage d’une liste complète de services, d’entreprises et de ressources disponibles pour la communauté 2ELGBTQ+ et les personnes alliées dans la région de Columbia Bassin en Colombie-Britannique. Ce répertoire de services et de possibilités sera disponible sous format imprimé et électronique, et les membres de la communauté pourront l’utiliser pour trouver des services et des entreprises 2ELGBTQ+ ou adjacents dans la région. Ce projet mobilisera également des organismes partenaires, mènera des recherches, documentera et inscrira l’histoire queer en voie de disparition de Columbia Bassin. Une fois documentée, cette histoire sera publiée en ligne et en format livre.
