Canada invests $100M in 'historic' action plan for 2SLGBT communities

Majority of money will help fund community organizations over 5-year term

The federal government unveiled what it described as a historic first on Sunday as it announced a five-year, $100-million plan to support 2SLGBT communities across the country.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled the strategy, dubbed "Canada's first Federal 2SLGBTQI+ Action Plan," at a news conference on Sunday ahead of the Pride parade in Ottawa — the first in-person march after a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19.

he strategy proposes to adopt and encourage the use of the 2SLGBTQI+ acronym, "which is more inclusive and places the experiences of Indigenous 2SLGBTQI+ communities at the foreground as the first 2SLGBTQI+ peoples in North America."

The acronym stands for two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and additional sexually and gender diverse people.
