The work of building a culture of tolerance, acceptance and celebration, where everyone is comfortable expressing who they are, is moving forward in Winnipeg. Internationally and across Canada, it is still the case that many of us are marginalized, excluded, and targets of hate. UWinnipeg hosted a groundbreaking conference from October 20 to 22, 2017, that brought the voices of Two-Spirit (2S) and Queer People of Colour (QPOC) communities to the forefront. C2C: Two Spirit & Queer People of Colour Call to Conversation with LGBT & Allies was a “Call to Conversation” that successfully gathered over 140 community members, scholars, activists, artists, students, youth, and traditional knowledge holders to share dialogue on the work that needs to be done for a more inclusive society.
