Our
vision

FrancoQueers proudly live out their intersectional identity. They are welcomed, accepted, and safe in all aspects of their life.

Our
mission

The Comité FrancoQueer de l’Ouest leads the conversation on the challenges faced by gender and sexually diverse people to raise awareness of 2SLGBTQIA+ identities in francophone minority settings.

Our
mandate

The Comité FrancoQueer de l’Ouest is a primary ressource for French-speaking 2SLGBTQIA+ people in British-Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and the Northwest and Yukon Territories’ linguistic minority communities.

Join us!

The Comité FrancoQueer de l’Ouest invites 2SLGBTQIA+ non-profits to become associate members of our organization. We also welcome opportunities to collaborate with existing supports in the communities we serve. If you would like to know more about our offerings, reach out to one of our team members below.
