At the heart of the Gala are the CGLCC Business Leadership Awards, recognizing outstanding leaders driving inclusion and innovation.
These awards hold great significance as they celebrate outstanding individuals and companies who have played a special role in driving economic growth within the 2SLGBTQI+ community in Canada. They honour those who have created positive change and fostered a thriving business environment.
The deadline for nominations is October 14, 2025.
The gala will take place on the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples, and is home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples.
