The Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) invites affiliates and labour councils to help us celebrate courage, leadership, and solidarity by submitting nominations for the 2026OFL Solidarity & Pride Champion Award.
This annual award honours an individual or group whose work has made a meaningful and lasting impact in advancing 2SLGBTQIA+ human rights, equity, and inclusion, in our workplaces, our communities, and beyond.
We are seeking nominees who challenge injustice, build power, and help create safer, more inclusive spaces where 2SLGBTQIA+ people can live and work with dignity.
The OFL strongly encourages nominators to consider candidates through an intersectional lens. We especially welcome nominations of Pride activists who identify as Indigenous, Black, Racialized, and/or living with disabilities, and whose advocacy reflects the diverse lived experiences within our movement.
