The Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) is seeking nominations from affiliates, local unions and labour councils for the SOLIDARITY & PRIDE CHAMPION AWARD.

We are seeking nominees who are leaders in advancing equality and quality of life for 2SLGBTQI+ people in workplaces, community and globally. 

The OFL encourages affiliates, local unions and labour councils to view through an intersectional lens when selecting their nominees, Pride activists who identify as racialized and/or living with disabilities.
