2SLGBTQIA+ Affinity Network
Affinity networks are spaces that offer an opportunity to gather and build community around shared identities and similar experiences. Inter-school affinity networks, like the CIS Ontario 2SLGBTQIA+ Affinity Network, can offer a sense of belonging in ways that a school environment may not able to, either because there is a lack of representation in staff and student populations, or because identifies may not be affirmed through policy, procedures or curriculum.
The 2SLGBTQIA+ Affinity Network is a space for those that identify as members based on their gender identity or sexual orientation. This is not a space to learn about the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. It is a space for people who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+.
It is our hope that the our network will provide an opportunity for individuals to engage in important conversations and will create a new inter-school community to connect employees from CIS Ontario member schools.
If this is a space for you, please consider joining us on the 2SLGBTQIA+ Affinity Network Hub within CISO Connect, so that we can share, give testimony to our experiences, support one another, and plan online and in-person get-togethers.
