With Ottawa’s LGBTQ+ Funding Set to End Next Spring, Groups Urge Ottawa Extend Scope
LGBTQ+ organizations are urging the Carney government to extend funding and programs addressing mental health and security concerns.
The Trudeau government launched an action plan in 2022 that funded Pride parade security and expanded research programs.
The programs are scheduled to expire next spring, while Egale Canada reports rising needs linked to online threats and provincial policies affecting transgender youth.
The Dignity Network says Canada should speak out for LGBTQ+ people facing repression abroad, including groups raided in Turkey.
