Diversifying Canadian business, one connection at a time.
About us
We often get the question: why do you exist? There are business chambers at the regional and national level, and corporations’ support for 2SLGBTQI initiatives is on the rise. It’s easy to give a by-the-numbers response. Canada is home to over 100,000 2SLGBTQI -owned businesses. These businesses generate over $22 billion in economic activity and employ over 435,000 Canadians. In other words, 2SLGBTQI business is big business. However, 2SLGBTQI entrepreneurs still face barriers. Nearly half have hidden who they were in business dealings to avoid losing opportunities, and more than a third have lost opportunities due to being 2SLGBTQI . There is a growing number of organizations looking to change these stats – one connection at a time. A community of 2SLGBTQI businesses, government liaisons and even diverse procurement practices are helping tip the scales. CGLCC is a coalition of all of these positive forces advocating for change to make a more inclusive Canadian economy possible. We do this by bringing people together, and highlighting the right resources for 2SLGBTQI entrepreneurs to be even more successful. So, the answer is: we exist because 2SLGBTQI entrepreneurs already have a huge impact on the Canadian economy, with barriers. Let’s see what kind of thriving and inclusive Canada is possible when we remove them.

Earlier this week, we attended a panel conversation put on by Dignity Network Canada, Journalists for Human Rights (JHR), and Pride Toronto! Such an important discussion that was focused on how to amplify LGBTQI narratives in both national and global media and the barriers our communities face in getting authentic representation and coverage. We learned so much from this incredible panel and folks in attendance - thank you for having us!
Yesterday Dignity Network Canada along with our members and partners Journalists for Human Rights (JHR) and Pride Toronto organized a really timely and important conversation on the way that media in Canada are covering both local 2SLGBTIQ and global LGBTIQ issues. Huge thank you to my colleague Emmett Mark for moderating the conversation and our stellar panelists, former Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, Globe and Mail Deputy National Editor Rachel Giese and Louisa Wall, former NZ Member of Parliament and this year's Pride Toronto International Grand Marshal. Huge thanks to Bill Killorn, Mujtaba Haris and the rest of the JHR team for their collaboration and making this a great discussion on the challenges of covering SOGIESC issues and human rights today at home and abroad.
