Providing education to members about the histories and experiences of 2SLGBTQIA+ people in our workplaces and society.
Advising and making recommendations to the ETT Executive of strategies which raise awareness and sensitize ETT members about 2SLGBTQIA+ issues.
Co-operating with other communities, unions, individuals, and community groups to advance awareness of 2SLGBTQIA+ issues in our Local.
