FCP's Councils • Les Conseils de FCP
Councils are independent groups of individuals who are interested in providing feedback to FCP about meaningful inclusion of marginalized communities | Les Conseils sont des groupes d'individus indépendants qui souhaitent fournir des commentaires au FCP sur l'inclusion significative des communautés marginaliséesFierté Canada Pride has four Leadership Councils, each representing a part of our community that is not well-represented within the Pride movement, and which are often marginalized within Pride spaces. These Councils exist to inspire and promote the voices of those individuals, and to advise FCP’s Board of Directors on its decisions and work accordingly. The Board’s decision-making process states that no major decision is voted on by the FCP Board of Directors without meaningful Council engagement. Each Council is self-governed and adopts its own decision making, membership, and communication processes, and has an Ambassador who is the key liaison between the Board of Directors and the Councils.
Fierté Canada Pride compte quatre Conseils de leadership, chacun représentant une partie de notre communauté qui n’est pas bien représentée au sein du mouvement Pride, et qui sont souvent marginalisés dans les espaces Fiertés. Ces Conseils existent pour inspirer et promouvoir les voix de ces personnes, et pour conseiller le CA du FCP sur ses décisions et travailler en conséquence. Le processus décisionnel du Conseil d’administration stipule qu’aucune décision majeure n’est votée par le Conseil d’administration du FCP sans un engagement significatif des Conseils consultatifs. Chaque Conseil est autogéré et adopte ses propres processus de prise de décision, d’adhésion et de communication, et nomme un.e ambassadeurice qui assure la liaison entre le CA du FCP et les Conseils.
