We didn’t have access to
business networks,
so we created our own.
Nilton Forest (he/him/any), Founding Architect, Office for Sustainable Design Architecture
When we see a need in our communities, we fill it. That’s been the 2SLGBTQI+ communities’ journey from the beginning—and it’s always been the entrepreneur’s spirit.
Canada’s 2SLGBTQI+ Chamber of Commerce is where these two things collide—and where we keep expanding the support offered to 2SLGBTQI+ entrepreneurs and maximizing corporations’ access to their innovation.
We saw a lot of business networks that looked the same—so we did it our way. With diversity being celebrated as a strength. Doing business, differently.
