The CBRC and Egale Canada have partnered on researching Access to Justice Study for 2SLGBTQIA+ People in Canada. Egale is currently focused on the experience of sexual minorities (e.g. lesbian women, bisexual people, gay men) in Atlantic Canada. It is their hope that you will share this study with your networks, or those who may be interested in participating in this type of study. 

Egale is in the final phase of recruitment, which is ending December 15, 2020.

This study, available in both English and French, seeks to gather information about the legal experiences of lesbian, gay, and bisexual people in Eastern Canada. The data gathered will help inform and change legal policies, practices, and services for LGBTQI2S people in Canada.

A link to the study can be found at https://egale.ca/legal-study along with additional information.

For anyone interested in participating, you can reach out to research@egale.ca for more information, or to arrange an interview.

To be eligible, participants must:

• Identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or another sexual orientation minority
• Be at least 16 years old
• Have had a serious legal issue within the last three (3) years
• Reside in Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, or New Brunswick
