Before we proceed with the demographic questions, we want to share why we are asking for this information. Canada’s 2SLGBTQI+ Chamber of Commerce (CGLCC) is committed to fostering an inclusive and equitable environment for all entrepreneurs and community members. Collecting data on race, gender identity, and other demographic factors allows us to: – Understand the diverse makeup of our community and ensure that our programs and initiatives are accessible and relevant to everyone. – Identify and address any gaps or barriers that equity-deserving groups may face in accessing our services. – Measure our progress towards creating a more inclusive ecosystem and inform our strategies for continuous improvement. Please be assured that your responses will be kept confidential and used solely to enhance our programs and support diversity and inclusion within our community.
