CHANGEMAKERS is a multimedia campaign where people can nominate as many changemakers as they admire, from the same organization or from different ones. We might receive duplications because of the amazing work of our 2SLGBTQIA+ community members or self-nomination. All of them are valid and will be analyzed by our CHANGEMAKERS Selection Committee.

We want to amplify the work done in Canada by our communities. We appreciate and recognize the dedication of people abroad and how their work contributes to a more inclusive country and world. However, only nominees living in Canada will be considered, respecting the other eligibility criteria.

Pride a Work Canada values transparency above anything else. Our Terms of Reference and other criteria details are available for everyone to understand our CHANGEMAKERS campaign. If you have any questions about this celebratory recognition or need accessibility support, please contact Connor Pion at connor.pion@prideatwork.ca.

CHANGEMAKERS is open to everyone 18 years of age or older, living in Canada, and who identify as Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, and all members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community who are not explicitly recognized in the acronym. There is no age limit for nominations, respecting being older than 18 years of age. They can be volunteering, working, retired, self-employed or seeking employment during the whole period of nomination, announcement and campaign.

Yes, all files and indispensable information must be provided in the application form. Not all are required, like social media handles. However, we ask for all crucial details and files to support the nomination and evaluation processes and the work for the CHANGEMAKERS campaign starting on May 17, 2024.

Because they are being nominated for a digital campaign, your nominee has to agree with our terms and conditions, mainly to grant permission to Pride at Work Canada to use their name, photograph, likeness, and voice in any manner and in all media now or hereafter known, without compensation of any kind. When you fill out the nomination form, you will confirm that they consent to the usage of their image and name in our CHANGEMAKERS campaign. The same image rights grant is valid for self-nomination. For more details, visit our Terms of Reference, including our waiver & release agreement for publicity purposes.

Pride at Work Canada seeks to create space and opportunities for 2SLGBTQIA+ communities to thrive where they are and make connections with one another. The goal of CHANGEMAKERS is to celebrate the excellence of our Two-Spirit, queer and trans people, and allies are ineligible. Despite the vital contributions from our allies and our appreciation for having them walk this inclusion journey with us, many times, the best support comes in the form of leaving space for 2SLGBTQIA+ people to celebrate and connect around their shared identities and lived experiences.

You can withdraw your nomination or nominee without further explanation at any time before April 30, 2024. For that, you have to send a message to Connor Pion at connor.pion@prideatwork.ca asking to be disregarded from the CHANGEMAKERS selection process.
