Celebrating LGBTQ+ Contributions to Canada's Business Landscape
Canada's LGBTQ+ Entrepreneurs: A Thriving Community
Canada's 2SLGBTQI+ business community is experiencing remarkable growth and recognition. The 2SLGBTQI+ Chamber of Commerce (CGLCC) is making history by holding its flagship Night of Distinction celebration in Vancouver for the very first time. This exciting event aims to honor the achievements and contributions of LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs.
A Strategic Celebration in Vancouver
Set for September 25, the Night of Distinction will take place at the Vancouver Convention Centre. This major event spotlights the regional leadership and innovation within British Columbia's diverse business ecosystem. With a focus on economic inclusivity, CGLCC is determined to enhance the visibility and growth of queer and trans-owned businesses throughout the province.
The Economic Impact of LGBTQ+ Entrepreneurs
Canada's 2SLGBTQI+ entrepreneurs form a powerful segment of the national economy, boasting over 100,000 LGBTQ+ owned businesses. Collectively, they contribute an estimated $22 billion in economic activity and create jobs for more than 435,000 Canadians. These entrepreneurs are not just a niche market; they represent a vibrant and essential force driving economic growth and innovation across the country.
Building Community and Driving Change
Sarah Evalina, Chief Operating Officer of CGLCC, emphasizes the importance of recognizing British Columbia's LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs, who are actively transforming the business landscape. "This flagship event acknowledges BC's leadership in fostering inclusive economic development and showcases the commitment of CGLCC to regional growth," she states.
Success Driven by Collaboration
The Night of Distinction builds upon the success of earlier initiatives, such as CGLCC's Domestic Trade Mission to Vancouver, which brought together numerous queer-owned small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and generated hundreds of qualified leads. The event embodies a platform for collaboration among corporate, government, and academic leaders, aiming to further inclusive economic development in BC.
A Growing National Movement
The expansion of CGLCC from its original roots in Toronto to Vancouver signifies a nationwide shift towards greater economic inclusion and support for LGBTQ+ businesses. This event is a testament to the rapidly growing recognition of regional voices and the importance of inclusion in shaping the business future of Canada.
