The new Office of Women and LGBTQ2 Veterans
Ahead of this year’s International Women’s Day, it’s important we pay tribute to the women Veterans
who have helped make the world a safer more equitable place .
It is also important we recognize that – despite the progress made in advancing gender equality
both here in Canada and around the world – there is still much to be done.
I believe this recognition shouldn’t come only once a year, but every day –
that’s why I’m very proud to announce the creation of the Office of Women and LGBTQ2 Veterans at Veterans Affairs Canada.
This Office will work with Veterans and stakeholder organizations to identify and address
the unique challenges and experiences that women and LGBTQ2 Veterans and their families face.
Together, we will continue to work towards meeting the changing needs of Veterans and their families,
Women and LGBTQ2 service members continue to represent Canada in uniform, as they have for more than a century.
It is our responsibility to provide them with the care and support they earned and deserve.
I know this Office will help us do just that.
