In May 2024, CCG – in partnership with the Feminist Campaign School (FCS) – launched the project: Systemic Change in Local Governments to Support the Advancement of Women and Gender Minorities (also known as the WAGE project).
The project addresses the systemic barriers that women and gender minorities disproportionately face when running for, and serving in, municipally-held elected office, with a particular focus on those with intersecting identities of oppression.
We expanded FCS’s Barriers Project research agenda to Saskatchewan, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia, while implementing recommendations through programming, education, and training in these three provinces as well as B.C. and Alberta.
This project has been funded [or: supported] through Women and Gender Equality Canada’s Women’s Program.
