Description (French)
Dans le cadre de ce projet de 42 mois, Wood Buffalo Pride Society renforcera la capacité des organismes et des réseaux communautaires 2ELGBTQI+ à faire progresser l'égalité des personnes 2ELGBTQI+. Il abordera les défis auxquels l'organisation est confrontée alors qu'elle passe d'une organisation gérée par des bénévoles à un personnel rémunéré pour répondre au besoin croissant de services de soutien et s'étendre aux communautés rurales autochtones de la région. Le projet comprendra l'élaboration et la mise en œuvre d'un plan stratégique quinquennal et d'un plan de viabilité financière. Pour atteindre ces objectifs, Wood Buffalo Pride Society s'associera à diverses organisations communautaires afin de tirer parti de leur réseau et d'assurer une approche coordonnée pour mieux répondre aux besoins de la communauté 2ELGBTQI+. Grâce aux fonds supplémentaires et à la prolongation accordés au début de 2026, la Wood Buffalo Pride Society actualisera et mettra en œuvre son plan stratégique, achèvera une formation portant sur la gouvernance du conseil d’administration et le renforcement des capacités, approfondira sa connaissance de la communauté, développera des partenariats à l’échelle nationale et renforcera les capacités communautaires. Ces mesures contribueront à faire progresser l’égalité des genres.
