About our Rendez-Vous: 2SLGBTQIA+ Women x Non-Binary Digital Connect
Pride at Work Canada has been bringing 2SLGBTQIA+ women and non-binary people together over breakfast in a dozen cities across Canada for years. Though we can’t safely hold in-person events right now, we are forever optimists. We’re seizing on this opportunity to connect women and non-binary people online, regardless of where they live.
Rendez-Vous: 2SLGBTQIA+ Women x Non-Binary Digital Connect is the next evolution of our popular 2SLGBTQIA+ Women’s Networking Breakfasts program. It’s a unique opportunity for 2SLGBTQIA+ women and non-binary people to connect on matters of employment and workplace inclusion in a casual and comfortable setting – from anywhere!
“When I signed up for the first Women’s breakfast in my city, two years ago, I did not anticipate I would meet people I would shortly after get to call friends.”

Why is this event taking place?
While many events and networks are inclusive of 2SLGBTQIA+ women and non-binary people, there are questions and discussions unique to these community members and their experiences. Pride at Work Canada seeks to create space for professional and job-seeking 2SLGBTQIA+ women and non-binary people to find support from and make connections with one another. We hope to be responsive to the needs and suggestions expressed by our attendees as this feedback helps to shape future events.
Who should attend?
The purpose of this event is to provide space for folks who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+ women and non-binary people. There is no desire to monitor anyone’s gender or sexual orientation or create barriers to entry. If you come to this event, you will be welcome. While the support of people who identify as allies to 2SLGBTQIA+ women, non-binary people and communities is always appreciated, please remember that the best support sometimes comes in the form of leaving space for people to connect around their shared identities and lived experiences.
