Diversifying Canadian business, one connection at a time.
About us
We often get the question: why do you exist? There are business chambers at the regional and national level, and corporations’ support for 2SLGBTQI+ initiatives is on the rise. It’s easy to give a by-the-numbers response. Canada is home to over 100,000 2SLGBTQI+-owned businesses. These businesses generate over $22 billion in economic activity and employ over 435,000 Canadians. In other words, 2SLGBTQI+ business is big business. However, 2SLGBTQI+ entrepreneurs still face barriers. Nearly half have hidden who they were in business dealings to avoid losing opportunities, and more than a third have lost opportunities due to being 2SLGBTQI+. There is a growing number of organizations looking to change these stats – one connection at a time. A community of 2SLGBTQI+ businesses, government liaisons and even diverse procurement practices are helping tip the scales. CGLCC is a coalition of all of these positive forces advocating for change to make a more inclusive Canadian economy possible. We do this by bringing people together, and highlighting the right resources for 2SLGBTQI+ entrepreneurs to be even more successful. So, the answer is: we exist because 2SLGBTQI+ entrepreneurs already have a huge impact on the Canadian economy, with barriers. Let’s see what kind of thriving and inclusive Canada is possible when we remove them.

Some of the highlights of my action-packed Wednesday at the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) International Business & Leadership Conference: 🇨🇦Debra Quade (she-her), Darrell Schuurman, Cass Elliott, Kailey Gilchrist, & Oscar Andrade facilitated an engaging Canadian Supplier Delegation & Corporate Breakfast at which I made some new supplier connections and learned about the great work being done by Canada's 2SLGBTQI+ Chamber of Commerce (CGLCC) 🎤The pitches during the EY & NGLCC BRG Challenge that shared how Supplier Diversity programs and LGBTQ+ Business Resource Groups partner for impact were inspirational - I’d love to have Bayer on that stage in the future, Beth Vieregge and Jesse Lundgren 😉 🏳️⚧️The TGX Biz Pitch featured Transgender and Gender Expansive-owned businesses providing a wide variety of goods and services pitching to be finalists, and these businesses are providing truly innovative solutions while being radically inclusive. Today’s winner received $5,000 and a chance to compete on Thursday for $25,000 cash and $25,000 in business consulting services. 🎙️Plenary sessions featuring educational and inspiring keynotes and panel discussions sitting at the AMI supplier presenting sponsor table - thanks Pip Macfarlane & Amber Miller, CTSM Gold 🎖️Recognizing the NaVOBA LGBTQ Veteran’s Business Enterprises of the year including Kathleen Waters who I had the pleasure to connect with earlier in the week - congratulations to all of the winners! #NGLCC2024 #SupplierDiversity #InclusiveProcurement #BeExceptional #IgnitingNetworks
