Since November 2018, we have been hosting a Community of Practice in the DTES that centers gender equity. The CoP brings together peers/patients and providers across various community organizations and initiatives. The goals CoP are to share knowledge and resources, learn from one another, build relationships with the goal of improving wellness, safety and access to care for marginalized genders.

Pre-covid, the montly gatherings were hosted at a different space every month within a different organization. The meetings are now largely zoom-based, but still in-person for peers and our 2S Elder Sandy Leo who open & closes the meeting in a good way.

The following posters and documents are the products of this CoP work. They have been used for reporting, advocacy and requests for funds. All documents can be shared.
