Cori has celebrated and volunteered at Pride events for the past 20 years, and is committed to listening and advocating for LGBTQIA2S+ equity as your city councillor, starting with:

• Inclusive & Accessible Washrooms

  • Invest in all gender, barrier-free public washrooms, as called for in the "Believe Us" report (page 49)

  • Work with community leagues and non-profit organizations on a program to promote all gender washrooms in existing public spaces
    

• Leading Inclusivity at City Hall

  • Add pronouns to Mayor and Councillor nameplates in Council Chambers

  • Have the option for speakers to provide pronouns when they register to speak

  • Review city documents and forms to ensure gender inclusive language

• Supporting LGBTQIA2S+ Neighbours

  • Prioritize Permanent Housing: too many LGBTQIA2S+ individuals continue to be unhoused or in precarious housing situations

  • Good Jobs: LGBTQIA2S+ individuals are often underemployed due to systemic discrimination

  • Community Health and Safety: fund community and mental health supports needed by LGBTQIA2S+
