Discrimination and Community Integration Experiences of 2SLGBTQ+ in Perth-Huron
We invite you to fill out a 10-minute survey if you are 12 years+, currently, or have lived, worked, or studied in Perth-Huron within the last 5 years, and you are 2SLGBTQ+ or work/volunteer in services providing for the 2SLGBTQ+ community
Living Wage
The concept of a living wage is bigger than income. It’s about quality of life. It’s about ensuring our neighbours can afford to pay their rent and buy nutritious food, our workers are healthy and able to pay for transportation to get to work every day and our children are given sufficient social and educational opportunities so they can flourish.
