Centring underrepresented voices
Fierté Canada Pride is guided in its work by four Leadership Councils representing and advocating for communities that are underrepresented within Pride movements and spaces. These Councils advise the FCP Board of Directors, and no major decision is made without meaningful Council engagement. Each Council is self-governed and appoints up to two Ambassadors who act as liaisons to the Board.
Council categories

This Council ensures gender diversity is reflected across the Pride movement and within FCP’s work. Represents trans, non-binary, and gender-diverse people’s perspectives about and within the Pride movement.
