Ottawa, ON – The Government of Canada announced today that it will provide $100 million in funding over five years to support 2SLGBTQI+ organizations across the country.
The funding will be used to support a range of initiatives, including:

The funding is part of the government’s commitment to advancing the rights of 2SLGBTQI+ people in Canada. In recent years, the government has taken a number of steps to address the needs of 2SLGBTQI+ people, including:
- Passing legislation to ban conversion therapy.

“We know that 2SLGBTQI+ people in Canada face unique challenges,” said the Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Health. “This funding will help to ensure that they have access to the services and support they need to live healthy and fulfilling lives.”
The announcement was welcomed by 2SLGBTQI+ organizations across the country.
“This funding is a game-changer for 2SLGBTQI+ organizations in Canada,” said John Fraser, Executive Director of the Canadian Centre for Gender and Sexual Diversity. “It will allow us to expand our services, reach more people, and make a real difference in the lives of 2SLGBTQI+ people.”
