Egale 2018 Annual Report 4 Letter from the Executive Director This has been an incredible year, not only for Egale, but for LGBTQI2S people in Canada and around the world. Following the federal apology to LGBTQI2S people in 2017, we’ve seen Canada progress in human rights on a global scale allowing more bridges to be built and stronger collaboration across borders in an effort to create a more accepting world. At Egale, we believe that to achieve our goal of a more inclusive It is with a heavy heart that after serving two consecutive terms, Canada and continue on the path we are on, it’s imperative I’ve chosen to step down from my position as Co-Secretary that we approach change in a holistic way. For us, this means General at ILGA. This has allowed me to focus on building Egale’s beginning with the laws and policies through which our country international relationships which continue to grow as we build and society are governed.

Lastly, we cannot achieve any of this as one organization, or even Sincerely, one country for that matter.

This was reiterated within the Ministerial Declaration from the 2017 High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development which emphasises the importance of “putting the furthest behind first” (Ministerial Declaration, 2017). Despite this emphasis on inclusion, Canada has not meaningfully incorporated lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex, and Two Spirit (LGBTQI2S) communities within the Federal Sustainable Development Agenda. Noticing this gap, Egale Canada Human Rights Trust (Egale) took on the task of assessing how LGBTQI2S communities fit into Canada’s commitment to ‘leaving no one behind’. To do so, we strategically chose to focus on the seven specific SDGs (1, 3, 5, 8, 10, 11, 16) that address the most pressing areas of concern for LGBTQI2S communities in Canada. It is important to note that the Federal Sustainable Agenda developed by the Canadian government solely focuses on goals 6, 7, 9, 11, 13, 14 and 15 which prioritise climate, resource management/development, and infrastructure sectors.

  • Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Egale Canada Human Rights Trust Team up to Hear from Two-Spirit and Lgbtq Aboriginal People Impacted by Residential Schools
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 4, 2014 TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSION AND EGALE CANADA HUMAN RIGHTS TRUST TEAM UP TO HEAR FROM TWO-SPIRIT AND LGBTQ ABORIGINAL PEOPLE IMPACTED BY RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS. TORONTO - The residential school system has had a profound and prolonged impact on Aboriginal people within Canada, the consequences of which have been grave. The experiences of LGBTQ- identified and/or Two Spirit people in these schools have been particularly distinct and have, until now, often went unexamined. Recently, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada teamed up with Egale Canada Human Rights Trust to change this, and on November 5th and 6th, 2014 the two will bring together fifteen direct and intergenerational survivors, from all corners of the country, for a forum to discuss how the schools impact the current social landscape for Two Spirit people. “It’s time we start addressing the intersections of identities that are experienced in our community. When we look at the rates of victimization and bullying of LGBTQ people in Aboriginal communities, we need look no further than the degradation of cultural acceptance that this system has brought,” said Helen Kennedy, Executive Director of Egale Canada Human Rights Trust. “I am thrilled about this collaboration between the TRC and Egale as I believe it will create meaningful awareness and positive change on this issue,” added Kennedy. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, an independent body that oversees the process of providing former students, and anyone who has been affected by the Residential Schools legacy, with an opportunity to share their individual experiences, has brought together thousands of survivors from coast to coast beginning in 2008.
