Summary
This 36-month project aims to increase the participation and retention of women in municipal leadership and support a more diverse, inclusive and equitable environment in municipal governance processes, particularly among underrepresented women including youth, Indigenous, Black and other racialized women and members of the LGBTQ2S+ community.
FCM will work in partnership with provincial and territorial associations (PTAs), stakeholders and its regionally diverse membership base to 1) enable more women to run for elected office 2) strengthen the capacity of municipal stakeholders to address gender-based violence and harassment; and 3) create a more conducive context for women leaders to thrive in their leadership through mobilizing, fostering and strengthening gender inclusive leadership, knowledge and best practices across municipalities.
The project will establish a steering committee made up of representatives from WAGE, FCM, PTAs and a national women's organization with experience in women's political participation. Sub-grants will also be provided to implementing partners at the local level (e.g. PTAs, municipalities, community-based organizations), to develop virtual training opportunities, resources and tools, including peer-to-peer learning and mentorship.

Description (French)
Ce projet de 36 mois vise à augmenter la participation des femmes au leadership municipal et leur maintien à ces postes, et à favoriser un environnement plus diversifié, plus inclusif et plus équitable dans les processus de gouvernance municipale, en particulier parmi les femmes sous-représentées, notamment les jeunes, les Autochtones, les Noires et autres femmes racialisées ainsi que les membres de la communauté LGBTQ2S+.
La Fédération canadienne des municipalités (FCM) collaborera avec les associations provinciales et territoriales (APT), les parties prenantes et sa base diversifiée à l’échelle régionale pour : 1) permettre à plus de femmes de se présenter aux élections; 2) renforcer la capacité des parties prenantes municipales à lutter contre la violence fondée sur le sexe et le harcèlement sexuel; 3) créer un contexte plus propice à l’épanouissement du leadership des dirigeantes par la mobilisation, la stimulation et le renforcement du leadership, des connaissances et des pratiques exemplaires qui tiennent compte du genre dans toutes les municipalités.
Le projet mettra sur pied un comité directeur composé de personnes représentant FEGC, la FCM et les APT ainsi qu’un organisme national de femmes ayant de l’expérience dans la participation des femmes à la politique. Des subventions seront également réparties pour mettre en œuvre des partenariats à l’échelle locale (p. ex., des APT, des municipalités, des organismes communautaires), pour développer des occasions, ressources et outils de formation en ligne, notamment pour l’apprentissage et le mentorat entre pairs.
Expected Results
Women and stakeholders have access to supports to address issues relating to equality between women and men.
Expected Results (French)
Les femmes et les parties prenantes peuvent obtenir de l’aide pour traiter des enjeux liés à l’égalité entre les femmes et les hommes.
