The following activities will help achieve the objectives of the project: carry out a complete, major and in-depth review of the governance structure; carry out strategic planning; update and produce new policies and guidelines; and produce and operationalize an action plan formalizing the pan-Canadian network. By the end of the project, the organization will have increased its knowledge and capacity to advance equality with regard to gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression.
