SUMMARY:Crossing the Finish Line  - A Rainbow Registered Conference
DESCRIPTION:Centered around the four pillars of the Rainbow Registered accreditation program\, the Crossing the Finish Line Conference will work to empower attendees with the tools they will need to reach the national standards of the Rainbow Registered accreditation.  \n\n\n\nThe Rainbow Registered accreditation program sets a rigorous set of standards that companies must meet before earning the Rainbow Registered mark and the benefits that go along with it. The conference will focus on the four key areas of the accreditation; policies and practices\, training\, commitment to inclusive leadership\, and a culture of inclusivity.  \n\n\n\nFor more information\, please email connor@queerchamber.ca. \n\n\n\nKeynote Speakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChris Cochrane – She/Her\n\n\n\nChris Cochrane is a Trans-Black activist and public speaker. She speaks and educates about her lived experience through her intersectionality. Chris works toward creating spaces for QTBIPOC people\, as well as working with 2S2SLGBTQI+IQIA+ youth to ensure those spaces will be upheld for years to come. Currently\, she is the Support Service Educator for The Youth Project. Chris is the former Vice Chair of Halifax Pride (2020-2022) where she used that platform to ensure equity for all of the community\, while focusing on our marginalized and racialized communities. Chris also has a member of ACTRA. She is also known as her drag persona Elle Noir where she is as fierce on stage as she is in her activism. Elle Noir is an 18 Year veteran of Drag\, known as a local legend and Winner of The Best Halifax Drag Performer for the last 5 years consecutively. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTj Jones – He/They\n\n\n\nWith his business Full Picture Management\, Tj supports organizations in expanding their capacity to meaningfully include and serve 2S2SLGBTQI+QIA+ folks. His work is informed by filtering his business & HR education through 20+ years of lived experience and almost a decade of 2S2SLGBTQI+QIA+ community advocacy. Driven to help improve the workplace and consumer experiences of his fellow queer and trans humans\, Tj loves holding space that empowers people to investigate their biases and consider the perspectives of others. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPaula Dodick – She/Her\n\n\n\nRainbow Registered Certification Consultant \n\n\n\nPaula Dodick is an educational consultant that is currently working with an independent school and supporting families looking for external academic supports and school placements. With a strong background in education for exceptional students\, she continues to champion students with diverse learning profiles.  Prior to her retirement from the Toronto District School Board\, Paula was an elementary school principal.  With many years of classroom experience in diverse communities\, Paula is able to apply her understanding of diversity and equity outside the realm of education.  In her last school\, she supported a Gay/Straight Alliance that initiated school wide learning opportunities around 2S2SLGBTQI+QIA+ issues that culminated in a month long Pride event.  During her tenure at this school\, she worked with two middle school students who were transitioning\, which led to the creation of practices for other middle schools to adopt as best practices when developing inclusionary practices in their schools. \n\n\n\nPaula has worked with CCQC since the pilot project for Rainbow Registered.  Having met with dozens of businesses and organizations who have developed inclusion within their workplaces\, she continues to learn and reflect on the value and importance of inclusion everywhere.

DESCRIPTION:The global 2SLGBTQI+ travel market is valued at more than US$200B annually. Canadian destinations are well positioned to grow their share of this market. But in order to be successful\, destinations and operators must ensure that 2SLGBTQI+ customers feel welcome\, accepted and are served in a way that exceeds their expectations and accommodates their needs. \n\n\n\nTo support efforts in developing market-ready products\, CCQC’s Navigating 2SLGBTQI+ Diversity and Inclusion in the Tourism Industry helps tourism-based businesses learn about 2SLGBTQI+ inclusion and how to effectively understand\, value\, and serve 2SLGBTQI+ customers and employees. \n\n\n\nThis training is presented as a workshop webinar\, live via Zoom. \n\n\n\nThis free workshop is made possible by the generous support of the Government of Canada through the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) and their Tourism Relief Fund.

SUMMARY:October is Book Month
DESCRIPTION:October 1 to October 31\, 2022\n\n\n\nCCQC and Brainspired Publishing (a partnership of INspired Media Inc.\, leading community media publications and platforms\, and CCQC diverse supplier (www.inspiredmediainc.ca) are celebrating October as Book Month\, and will be taking a look at the work of Canadian 2SLGBTQI+ authors through various events throughout the month.  \n\n\n\nThe Book Club\n\n\n\nThe Book Club starts on October 1 and concludes at the end of the month. \n\n\n\nCCQC has selected “Breaking Free\, 45 Years in the wrong body” by author Joelle Circé Laramée as the featured book. This is a great book\, as well an important book\, to get a better understanding of the journey of transitioning. Here is what one reader wrote: \n\n\n\n“I couldn’t put this memoir down and looked forward to reading it every day until I sadly finished it. I think everyone should read this book. What a woman. She lovingly takes you through her journey from childhood to now- all of the struggles and triumphs; her artistic process and transitioning into the woman she was born to be. She addresses important issues on transphobia\, discrimination\, otherness\, mental health and misogyny in society. It is heartbreaking and enlightening\, funny and smart\, honest and emotionally intelligent. Walk a mile in her shoes\, you won’t regret it.” \n\n\n\nThose registered for the Book Club through the CCQC have the opportunity to purchase this book at a discount\, and will have the month of October to read this amazing novel. \n\n\n\nSpecial Event: October 27\, 4:00 – 5:00pm EST\n\n\n\nA video session will be held with Book Club registrants on October 27 where we will be discussing the book with Antoine Elhashem and even receive a special visit from the author!  \n\n\n\nTo learn more about this book\, and about the other books available for you to pick up please visit  brainspiredpublishing.com/our-catalog. ORDER YOUR BOOKS EARLY if you are getting a print copy to take delivery timing into account. \n\n\n\nNOTE: Book Clubs can be a great way to promote and train businesses and staff members more about diversity\, equity\, and inclusion. A business of any size can start their own 2SLGBTQI+ Book Club today! Reading together as a team helps foster further understanding of the diverse lifestyles\, experiences\, perspectives\, and stories within the 2SLGBTQI+ community. Brainspired Publishing would be delighted to help you set that up for your team. We may even invite your book club to be a guest on our literary podcast “Turning the Page”. \n\n\n\nRegister Now. Grab your book and join us for CCQC’s Book Club!
