2SLGBTQQIA+ Indigenous resources

The Community Support Fund aims to improve the well-being of Indigenous women, girls and 2S+ people by supporting Indigenous-led initiatives that address violence and increase safety and economic security of Indigenous women, girls and 2S+ people.

Approximately $100,000 for a partnership and grant agreement with Edmonton 2 Spirit Society to develop a MMIW2S+ Justice and Wellness Plan 2024 that will identify actions and strategies to address the issue of violence against Indigenous 2S+ people.

This federal-provincial partnership delivers grant programs that generate sustainable economic growth in the agricultural and agri-food sector. 

One of the principles of the framework is that programs should be designed to address barriers to participation in programming and consider the unique and diverse needs of Indigenous peoples and other underrepresented and marginalized groups such as youth, women, visible minorities, 2SLGBTQQIA+ people, persons with disabilities and members of English and French linguistic minority communities, to achieve greater equity, diversity and inclusion in the sector.

$150,000 was provided to Pride YMM to support a Two Spirit awareness and support campaign, host engagement opportunities, collaborate with local organizations to develop a strategy to protect those affected by gender-based violence, and create an art engagement initiative focused on amplifying the voices of Two Spirit artists which will culminate in an art exhibition.

The Alberta Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) Roadmap is a framework to guide government ministries to use when designing, implementing, and evaluating laws, policies, programs and services that address violence, increase safety and increase safety of Indigenous women, girls and 2S+ people.

The Reconciliation Tables under these agreements include a focus on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two Spirit Plus People (MMIWG2S+).
