2SLGBTQ+ Youth Housing Blueprint

The 2SLGBTQ+ Youth Housing Toolkit was created to support organizations and groups in developing housing for queer youth. The Toolkit provides resources for every stage of development and is built from extensive research, evaluation, and input from a range of similar housing initiatives across North America. The Toolkit is separated into six key areas: 1) Building a Foundation; 2) Designing your Program; 3) Staffing; 4) Intaking Youth; 5) Programming & Support Services; and 6) Documents & Resources. Users can navigate easily between the different sections depending on their housing model and stages of development.

Mapping and Assessing the Capacity of Canada’s 2SLGBTQ+ Centres

The Mapping Canada’s 2SLGBTQI+ Movement: Growth, Capacity, and Futures project was led by The Enchanté Network | Le Réseau Enchanté (TEN) in collaboration with the University of Saskatchewan’s Social Innovation Lab and Psystem.

It specifically focuses on their capacity, operations, governance, programming, and finances, and the impact of COVID-19 throughout the past few years.

Driving Transformational Change: A Funder's Guide to Supporting 2SLGBTQ+ Organizations

Chronic underfunding of 2SLGBTQ+ organizations hurts gender and sexually diverse people and demonstrates a missed opportunity for funders to drive equitable, intersectional, and sustainable change in order of everyone within the country, especially those who are the most marginalized, to exact their full potential. The funding landscape only changes at the hands of grantmakers and so this report is primarily directed at government funders, including federal, provincial, and municipal bodies. The recommendations are applicable to a broader audience, aiming to improve the funding processes and procedures of all grantmakers.

A Seat At The Table

Have a Seat at the Table is an anthology of letters from distinguished and early career woman lawyers to their past selves, reflection on their journeys. Additionally, participants will attend a one day workshop and the book will discuss themes arising from the workshops. The project aims to help foster leadership, mentorship, and networking among female lawyers through the compilation of an anthology of letters, a related workshop, and other initiatives resulting from the anthology and workshop that both celebrate success and inspire ongoing action. Women lawyers have interesting stories to tell about the paths they have followed, and we think that these stories would be illuminating and inspiring for other women, particularly young women who are contemplating a future in the legal profession.

Community Data Flash Review

A flash review of collection, storage, and sharing strategies for community data. The findings found there is very little Saskatchewan-specific research addressing the data collected by community organizations in a Saskatchewan context. Drawing on both research and practice related to community-data storage and mobilization, we demonstrate that the development of data tools for Saskatchewan community organizations would enhance the benefits associated with data sharing and access while minimizing the risk. This project was supported by a working group made up of Chuk Plante, Brea Loewenberger, Taryn McLachlan, and Rachel Loewen Walker and supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.

From Research to Impact

The Knowledge Mobilization Cycle, adapted from the Co-produced Pathway to Impact (Phipps et al. 2016), illustrates that research impact occurs when university researchers collaborate with non-academic partners who produce the products, policies, and services that have impacts on the lives of end beneficiaries.
