Thanks @VeteransENG_CA and Minister Petitpas Taylor @GinettePT for organizing the outstanding conference. Thanks also to all the 2SLGBTQI veterans and allies who attended.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s 2SLGBTQI+ Veterans Forum! With your input top of mind, I’m eager to continue addressing the challenges faced by 2SLGBTQI+ Veterans, honouring their contributions, and exploring ways to improve support and recognition.
